Stacktrace parsing removes parenthes from source maps when using NEXT.js Route Groups

[adamstuller]

Describe the bug

When using route groups in NEXT.js, and submitting an error using @bugsnag/js notify method, stacktrace is incorrectly parsed (all parentheses are removed).

For example: file URL https://APP_URL/_next/static/chunks/app/(app)/layout-65e9281b65d94580.js is converted to https://APP_URL/_next/static/chunks/app/app/layout-65e9281b65d94580.js. This makes Bugsnag unable to find a matching uploaded source map.

This problem is caused by error-stack-parser library used for javascript error stacktrace parsing. There is a 2-year-old opened issue with a proposed solution stacktracejs/error-stack-parser#62, but evidently, no one maintains the repo nowadays.

Context

Here parentheses are removed in the error-stack-parser library: https://github.com/stacktracejs/error-stack-parser/blob/master/error-stack-parser.js#L47
Here is the PR that should solve it but no one merges it: stacktracejs/error-stack-parser#82
Here it is used in Bugsnag repository: https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-js/blob/next/packages/core/event.js#L221

Proposed solution

As it is a core feature, it might make sense to fork the library and fix the issue.

Hi @adamstuller,

Thanks for pointing this out.

We have raised this with our engineers, who have added an item to their backlog to implement a fix for this. While we can’t give an ETA for when this will be implemented, we will be sure to let you know here of any updates.

Hi @hannah-smartbear , any updates?

Is this project dead? We're switching to another tool since Bugsnag seems to be overlooking our issues. We aren't using any obscure frameworks for front-end development; we're working with the most widely adopted one

Hi @andylacko

Apologies for the delay in response here.

As the fix for this relies on needing to fix or fork a 3rd party library, it's going to take us some time to come up with a solution.

I'm afraid we still don't have an ETA we can share on this, but we will make sure to post any further updates on this thread.
