Optionally, report manual errors in your app.

If you need to report exceptions outside of a handler, use the Highlight SDK.

const parsed = H.parseHeaders(request.headers)
H.consumeError(error, parsed?.secureSessionId, parsed?.requestId)

Verify that your SDK is reporting errors.

You'll want to throw an exception in one of your Nest.js handlers. Access the API handler and make sure the error shows up in Highlight.

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common'

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  getHello(): string {
    console.log('hello, world!')
    console.warn('whoa there! ', Math.random())
    if (Math.random() < 0.2) {
      // error will be caught by the HighlightErrorFilter
      throw new Error(`a random error occurred! 0.8006699662111119`)
    }
    return 'Hello World!'
  }
}
