Hey @Mause thanks for opening a PR! What is the reason behind this move?

We recently changed @sentry/cli to use binaries over npm instead of a postinstall script: getsentry/sentry-cli#1836 - would that help this?

I assume installation still hard fails on platforms without pre-provided binaries? That's my reason for this change

I opened #9741 for the Sentry CLI bump - this should have better behavior and not rely on postinstall.

What platform are you using? Perhaps we can think about extending support to it.

On Android via Termux (https://termux.dev/en/). I'm aware this is an oddball platform, but hard failing on installing a package that isn't required isn't a great experience

I've been overriding the resolution in yarn to a dummy empty package to work around this for now: https://github.com/Mause/github-statuses/blob/78f3fa4cef275e0bd34eb3d4a7e3a6d90a4217ca/package.json#L92

I agree it's poor UX that it hard fails. Hopefully the CLI bump in #9741 makes this better.

What happens if you use @sentry/[email protected]?

Looks like that does the trick - it's able to install, and the sentry cli binary just fail on invocation (with https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cli/blob/c09c5991fd44b8fa4a0efff39b6953f98892e013/js/helper.js#L85), which I'm perfectly happy with

chore: remove sentry cli hack 😁

@Mause updated CLI bump will go out with the next version of the SDK. I also opened a PR to configure dependabot so we don't get caught in situations like this in future #9752

Thanks again for opening PR!! Was great reminder for us.
