Adds the manual mode for profiling and browser integration tests.

  • adds deprecation note for old option
  • adds some JSDoc comments to public-facing API to make the difference between Node and UI profiling better visible.

Closes#17279

Bug: Profiling state leaks after trace completion.

In trace mode, when _endProfiling is called after the last root span ends, the profile context is not cleared. The condition if (this._lifecycleMode === 'manual') prevents clearing the context in trace mode, but when there are no active root spans (which is when _endProfiling is called from spanEnd), the context should be cleared to prevent subsequent transactions from being incorrectly marked as profiled. The profile context persists even though profiling has stopped, causing spans created after profiling ends to incorrectly appear as profiled.

The profiler context will stay the same for the whole profiling session as the profiler cannot be just stopped like in manual profiling, where there might be spans that are not profiled anymore.

l/m: In case the CDN bundle tests fail, this is likely the reason why: _profiler is mangled by our terser config (makeTerserPlugin()) because it is not excluded from the ignore list of private properties.

We can either opt out of mangling this field, make it "public" (i.e. remove the leading underscore), or add client hooks instead of exposing any additional field. I'd personally prefer using client hooks because it makes the binding very loose and also removes the need for the isProfilingIntegrationWithProfiler type predicate. Happy to leave this up to you though!

I used the approach from node-profiling here for consistency, but that's a very valid reason to use a different approach. I'm gonna add client hooks.

const laterRootSpan = laterActiveSpan && getRootSpan(laterActiveSpan);
if (laterRootSpan) {
traceLifecycleProfiler.notifyRootSpanActive(laterRootSpan);
profiler.notifyRootSpanActive(laterRootSpan);

Bug: Profiler hooks registered without initialization for invalid lifecycle

The profiler hooks startUIProfiler and stopUIProfiler are registered before checking if the lifecycle mode is valid. If profileLifecycle is set to an invalid value (not 'manual' or 'trace'), the hooks get registered but profiler.initialize() is never called. This causes the profiler to be in an uninitialized state when users call uiProfiler.startProfiler() or uiProfiler.stopProfiler(), leading to undefined behavior since _lifecycleMode, _sessionSampled, and other fields remain undefined.

Bug: Profiling state leaks after trace completion.

In trace mode, when _endProfiling is called after the last root span ends, the profile context is not cleared. The condition if (this._lifecycleMode === 'manual') prevents clearing the context in trace mode, but when there are no active root spans (which is when _endProfiling is called from spanEnd), the context should be cleared to prevent subsequent transactions from being incorrectly marked as profiled. The profile context persists even though profiling has stopped, causing spans created after profiling ends to incorrectly appear as profiled.

The profiler context will stay the same for the whole profiling session as the profiler cannot be just stopped like in manual profiling, where there might be spans that are not profiled anymore.

l/m: In case the CDN bundle tests fail, this is likely the reason why: _profiler is mangled by our terser config (makeTerserPlugin()) because it is not excluded from the ignore list of private properties.

We can either opt out of mangling this field, make it "public" (i.e. remove the leading underscore), or add client hooks instead of exposing any additional field. I'd personally prefer using client hooks because it makes the binding very loose and also removes the need for the isProfilingIntegrationWithProfiler type predicate. Happy to leave this up to you though!

I used the approach from node-profiling here for consistency, but that's a very valid reason to use a different approach. I'm gonna add client hooks.

const laterRootSpan = laterActiveSpan && getRootSpan(laterActiveSpan);

Bug: Profiler hooks registered without initialization for invalid lifecycle

The profiler hooks startUIProfiler and stopUIProfiler are registered before checking if the lifecycle mode is valid. If profileLifecycle is set to an invalid value (not 'manual' or 'trace'), the hooks get registered but profiler.initialize() is never called. This causes the profiler to be in an uninitialized state when users call uiProfiler.startProfiler() or uiProfiler.stopProfiler(), leading to undefined behavior since _lifecycleMode, _sessionSampled, and other fields remain undefined.

The condition if (this._lifecycleMode === 'manual') prevents clearing the context in trace mode, but when there are no active root spans (which is when _endProfiling is called from spanEnd), the context should be cleared to prevent subsequent transactions from being incorrectly marked as profiled. The profile context persists even though profiling has stopped, causing spans created after profiling ends to incorrectly appear as profiled.

The profiler context will stay the same for the whole profiling session as the profiler cannot be just stopped like in manual profiling, where there might be spans that are not profiled anymore.

l/m: In case the CDN bundle tests fail, this is likely the reason why: _profiler is mangled by our terser config (makeTerserPlugin()) because it is not excluded from the ignore list of private properties.

We can either opt out of mangling this field, make it "public" (i.e. remove the leading underscore), or add client hooks instead of exposing any additional field. I'd personally prefer using client hooks because it makes the binding very loose and also removes the need for the isProfilingIntegrationWithProfiler type predicate. Happy to leave this up to you though!

I used the approach from node-profiling here for consistency, but that's a very valid reason to use a different approach. I'm gonna add client hooks.

const laterRootSpan = laterActiveSpan && getRootSpan(laterActiveSpan);
if (laterRootSpan) {
traceLifecycleProfiler.notifyRootSpanActive(laterRootSpan);
profiler.notifyRootSpanActive(laterRootSpan);

Bug: Profiler hooks registered without initialization for invalid lifecycle

The profiler hooks startUIProfiler and stopUIProfiler are registered before checking if the lifecycle mode is valid. If profileLifecycle is set to an invalid value (not 'manual' or 'trace'), the hooks get registered but profiler.initialize() is never called. This causes the profiler to be in an uninitialized state when users call uiProfiler.startProfiler() or uiProfiler.stopProfiler(), leading to undefined behavior since _lifecycleMode, _sessionSampled, and other fields remain undefined.

Adds the manual mode for profiling and browser integration tests.

  • adds deprecation note for old option
  • adds some JSDoc comments to public-facing API to make the difference between Node and UI profiling better visible.

Closes#17279

Adds the manual mode for profiling and browser integration tests.

  • adds deprecation note for old option
  • adds some JSDoc comments to public-facing API to make the difference between Node and UI profiling better visible.

Closes#17279

The client.on calls (spanStart, spanEnd) are now added in the _setupTraceLifecycleListeners function.

This PR was factored out of another PR to make reviewing easier. The
other PR: #18189
Moved the `spanStart` and `spanEnd` listeners into an extra function
(`_setupTraceLifecycleListeners`) to be able to only call it depending
on the lifecycle (used in another PR).

Bug: Profiling state leaks after trace completion.

In trace mode, when _endProfiling is called after the last root span ends, the profile context is not cleared. The condition if (this._lifecycleMode === 'manual') prevents clearing the context in trace mode, but when there are no active root spans (which is when _endProfiling is called from spanEnd), the context should be cleared to prevent subsequent transactions from being incorrectly marked as profiled. The profile context persists even though profiling has stopped, causing spans created after profiling ends to incorrectly appear as profiled.

The profiler context will stay the same for the whole profiling session as the profiler cannot be just stopped like in manual profiling, where there might be spans that are not profiled anymore.

Nice work! Had one thought about the public API <> integration interaction but otherwise LGTM!

l: the code suggests we get two envelopes/chunks. Should we update/remove the comment?

l/m: In case the CDN bundle tests fail, this is likely the reason why: _profiler is mangled by our terser config (makeTerserPlugin()) because it is not excluded from the ignore list of private properties.

We can either opt out of mangling this field, make it "public" (i.e. remove the leading underscore), or add client hooks instead of exposing any additional field. I'd personally prefer using client hooks because it makes the binding very loose and also removes the need for the isProfilingIntegrationWithProfiler type predicate. Happy to leave this up to you though!

I used the approach from node-profiling here for consistency, but that's a very valid reason to use a different approach. I'm gonna add client hooks.

const laterRootSpan = laterActiveSpan && getRootSpan(laterActiveSpan);
if (laterRootSpan) {
traceLifecycleProfiler.notifyRootSpanActive(laterRootSpan);
profiler.notifyRootSpanActive(laterRootSpan);

Bug: Profiler hooks registered without initialization for invalid lifecycle

The profiler hooks startUIProfiler and stopUIProfiler are registered before checking if the lifecycle mode is valid. If profileLifecycle is set to an invalid value (not 'manual' or 'trace'), the hooks get registered but profiler.initialize() is never called. This causes the profiler to be in an uninitialized state when users call uiProfiler.startProfiler() or uiProfiler.stopProfiler(), leading to undefined behavior since _lifecycleMode, _sessionSampled, and other fields remain undefined.

The SDK will log a warning in this case

Thanks for making the hooks-based changes! :)
