ref: Export SPAN_KIND from core and drop OTel SpanKind imports#21668
Merged
Conversation
Add a `SPAN_KIND` const object (and derived `SpanKindValue` type) mirroring OpenTelemetry's `SpanKind` enum values, so SDK code can set a span's kind without importing `@opentelemetry/api` solely for the enum. `StartSpanOptions.kind` now derives its type from `SPAN_KIND` to keep values and type in sync.
…entations Replace `SpanKind` from `@opentelemetry/api` with the `SPAN_KIND` const from `@sentry/core` in vendored instrumentations whose `kind` flows into Sentry's `startSpan`/`startInactiveSpan`. Drops the `@opentelemetry/api` import entirely from dataloader, mysql2, ioredis, mongoose, mongo, postgres, knex, and tedious; trims it to a type-only/partial import for redis and kafka. Instrumentations that pass `kind` into a real OTel `tracer.startSpan` are left untouched, since the OTel API expects the `SpanKind` enum type.
…ription Replace the bare `kind: 1` (with explanatory `// SpanKind.SERVER = 1` comment) with the now-exported `SPAN_KIND.SERVER`, dropping the magic number.
Replace the locally-inlined `SPAN_KIND_CLIENT = 2` constant with `SPAN_KIND.CLIENT` from `@sentry/core`, now that the shared constant exists.

While streamlining a few instrumentations I noticed sometimes we import from
@opentelemetry/apiin some instrumentations purely for the SPAN_KIND enum, so might as well just vendor it to make it easier.So this exports a
SPAN_KINDconstant from@sentry/coreso vendored instrumentations (and core itself) can set a span's kind without importing@opentelemetry/apisolely for theSpanKindenum.
