Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

initSentry({
 beforeSend(event, hint) {
 // Seems unintuitive - I'd expect rejection reason here
 const test = hint.originalException instanceof Promise; // true

 return event;
 },
});

Steps to Reproduce

1. Throw an error from an async function and do not catch it - global "unhandledRejection" Sentry handler should capture it
2. beforeSend is invoked - inspect EventHint.originalException to find its a Promise object. Was expecting rejection reason.

See source code:

sentry-javascript/packages/node-core/src/integrations/onunhandledrejection.ts

Line 112 in 73d51f2

originalException: promise,

Expected Result

I expected rejection reason (e.g. the thrown error object) inside EventHint.originalException, not a Promise object. I figured I can do the following:

let originalException;
if (hint.originalException instanceof Promise) {
 try {
 await hint.originalException;
 } catch (e) {
 originalException = e;
 }
}

But this feels dirty - what am I supposed to do with the Promise object?

Actual Result

See above.

Thanks for reporting this, I will take a look and report back. It seems like the browser SDK is handling this correctly so I will see if there is a specific reason the node.js one isn't.
