BugSplat

Crash and error reporting built for busy developers.

symbol-upload

This repo is a simple Node.js utility, set of libraries, and GitHub action for uploading symbol files or source maps to BugSplat. This utility is designed to be used in your build process to upload symbols to BugSplat automatically for each production build. This package can be used as a library or a command line utility.

Action

Use the symbol-upload action in your GitHub Actions workflow by modifying the following snippet.

- name: Symbols 📦
    uses: BugSplat-Git/symbol-upload@main
    with:
      clientId: "${{ secrets.SYMBOL_UPLOAD_CLIENT_ID }}"
      clientSecret: "${{ secrets.SYMBOL_UPLOAD_CLIENT_SECRET }}"
      database: "${{ secrets.BUGSPLAT_DATABASE }}"
      application: "your-application"
      version: "your-version"
      files: "**/*.{pdb,exe,dll}"
      directory: "your-build-directory"
      node-version: "22"
      dumpSyms: false

Be sure to use secrets so that you don't expose the values for clientId, clientSecret, and database.

                                         value of the version field in package.json if it exists in the current        
                                         working directory.

  -d, --directory string (optional)      Path of the base directory used to search for symbol files. This value will   
                                         be combined with the --files glob. Defaults to '.'
  -m, --dumpSyms boolean (optional)      Use dump_syms to generate and upload sym files for specified binaries.                              

  The -u and -p arguments are not required if you set the environment variables 
  SYMBOL_UPLOAD_USER and SYMBOL_UPLOAD_PASSWORD, or provide a clientId and

  The -i and -s arguments are not required if you set the environment variables 
  SYMBOL_UPLOAD_CLIENT_ID and SYMBOL_UPLOAD_CLIENT_SECRET, or provide a user    
  and password.                                                                 

Example

  symbol-upload -b your-bugsplat-database -a your-application-name -v your-     
  version [ -f "*.js.map" -d "/path/to/containing/dir" [ -u your-bugsplat-email 
  -p your-bugsplat-password ] OR [ -i your-client-id -s your-client-secret] ]

3. Run symbol-upload specifying a glob pattern for -f and a path with forward slashes for -d. Multiple file types can be specified in curly brackets separated by a comma, and wildcards can be used to search directories recursively. For example, **/*.{pdb,exe,dll} will search for all .pdb, .exe, and .dll files in the current directory and all subdirectories. Optionally, you can specify the -m flag to run dump_syms against the specified binaries and upload the resulting .sym files.

API

1. Install this package locally npm i @bugsplat/symbol-upload.
2. Import BugSplatApiClient and VersionsApiClient from @bugsplat/symbol-upload. Alternatively, you can import OAuthClientCredentialsClient if you'd prefer to authenticate with an OAuth2 Client Credentials Client ID and Client Secret.

import { BugSplatApiClient, OAuthClientCredentialsClient, uploadSymbolFiles } from '@bugsplat/symbol-upload';

3. Create a new instance of BugSplatApiClient using the createAuthenticatedClientForNode async factory function or OAuthClientCredentialsClient using the createAuthenticatedClient async factory function.

const bugsplat = await BugSplatApiClient.createAuthenticatedClientForNode(email, password);

const bugsplat = await OAuthClientCredentialsClient.createAuthenticatedClient(clientId, clientSecret);

4. Upload your symbol files to bugsplat by calling the uploadSymbolFiles function.

const directory = '/path/to/symbols/dir';
const files = ['my-cool-app.exe', 'my-cool-app.pdb'];
await uploadSymbolFiles(bugsplat, database, application, version, directory, files);

If you've done everything correctly, your symbols should be shown by clicking the application link on the Versions page.

Thanks for using BugSplat!
