Add capture(error:attachAllThreads:block:) combined API to SentrySDK #8538
Description
Currently, the public SentrySDK API exposes attachAllThreads and scope block mutation as separate methods with no way to use both together:
// Scope block only
@discardableResult public static func capture(
error: Error,
block: @escaping (Scope) -> Void
) -> SentryId
// attachAllThreads only
@discardableResult public static func capture(
error: Error,
attachAllThreads: Bool
) -> SentryId
There is no public method that combines both parameters.
Requested API:
@discardableResult public static func capture(
error: Error,
attachAllThreads: Bool,
block: @escaping (Scope) -> Void
) -> SentryId
Motivation:
When capturing errors where full thread stack traces are needed for specific events only (rather than globally via SentryOptions.attachAllThreads), there is currently no clean way to also mutate the scope for that same call. The only workarounds are:
Enabling attachAllThreads globally at init, which may not be desirable for performance reasons.
Using configureScope before the capture call, which sets data globally and requires manual cleanup.
Expected behaviour:
The method would behave identically to the existing capture(error:block:) variant (cloning the current scope and applying mutations only to the captured event) while also forwarding the attachAllThreads flag to the underlying client.

Thanks a lot @masinette for raising an issue. 🙏
I would like to add: this relates to all four
.capture(options (not.capture(error: Error, ...)only):.capture(error: Error, ...).capture(event: Event, ...).capture(message: String, ...).capture(exception: exception, ...)It would be great to have these four public methods 😃

In addition: it would be really great to have this change as 9.14.1: on top of 9.14.0 release (since 9.14.0 is the latest stable release).
