Sentry.init()

Sentry.init({
  debug: false,
  dsn: config.sentryDsn,
  enableAppStartTracking: true,
  enableNativeFramesTracking: true,
  enableStallTracking: true,
  enableUserInteractionTracing: true,
  environment: config.sentryEnv,
  integrations: [
    navigationIntegration,
  ],

const navigationIntegration = Sentry.reactNavigationIntegration({
  enableTimeToInitialDisplay:
    Constants.executionEnvironment === ExecutionEnvironment.StoreClient,
});

Steps to Reproduce

Use latest expo to create RN app
Add Sentry 6.5.0
Start up either iOS or Android app locally

Expected Result

App to behave normally and only send exceptions if they come up from the code

Actual Result

constant exceptions in the getFullURL function since helpers.WINDOW.location is undefined.

Assuming its because this is executing in the browsers package in sentry and in RN there is no window.location

Hi @AdamTyler,
thank you for the message, you are right window.location does not exist in React Native.

We should check this field before accessing it.

Just to confirm, this causes issues only when debugging the application with Pause on caught exceptions?

[krystofwoldrich]

We decided not to update the code, since from our testing, the issue only occurs during debugging with Pause on caught exceptions.
