Missing sentry_id

Error message

Missing sentry_id

What it means

The script extracts the Sentry event id from a hidden marker comment '<!-- sentry_id: ... -->' embedded in the issue body by the crash-report flow. This instance throws when indexOf cannot find the opening marker or its closing ' -->', meaning the issue body simply does not contain a Sentry event reference.

Solutions

1. Gate the workflow step on issues that actually carry the marker (contains(github.event.issue.body, '<!-- sentry_id:'))
2. Change the script to exit 0 with a log line when the marker is absent, since issues without crash data are expected
3. If the issue genuinely has a Sentry event, re-add the marker comment with the event id

Example fix

// before
if (!(id > -1 && endIdLine > -1)) {
  throw new Error('Missing sentry_id');
}

// after
if (!(id > -1 && endIdLine > -1)) {
  console.log('No sentry_id marker; nothing to associate');
  process.exit(0);
}

const body = process.env.GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY ?? '';
const hasMarker = body.indexOf('<!-- sentry_id: ') > -1 && body.indexOf(' -->', body.indexOf('<!-- sentry_id: ') + 1) > -1;
if (!hasMarker) {
  console.log('no sentry_id marker; skipping association');
  process.exit(0);
}

When it happens

Trigger: The action ran on a manually-filed issue that never used the crash-report template; the marker was edited out of the body by a user; the body was truncated before the marker position.

Common situations: Workflow triggers on all new issues (on: issues) instead of only crash-report issues; users edit the template and delete the HTML comment; third-party automation files issues without the marker.
