Description

Support automatic ingestion of uncaught Scheme exceptions through a pickup component.

A Scheme runtime can write an exception report when a thread raises an uncaught SRFI-12 condition. The pickup component should:

  • discover and attach the generated report
  • translate the condition type, message, metadata, thread information, and stack frames into Sentry's standard error event format
  • submit the translated event for ingestion

The Scheme program should not need to construct a Sentry payload or integrate a dedicated Scheme SDK. The requested experience is:

Scheme exception report → pickup and translation → Sentry ingestion

Initial scope is CHICKEN Scheme 5 with SRFI-12 conditions. The report format can be defined as part of the implementation because the producer can pre-process the data into the required shape.

Requested by David Quintas.

Research direction

Start by locating existing pickup components and the standard error event format used for ingestion. Define the CHICKEN Scheme 5 report shape and trace how condition data, thread information, and stack frames can be translated and submitted; done means an uncaught SRFI-12 condition reaches Sentry without a Scheme SDK or manually constructed payload.
