[🐛] 🔥 @react-native-firebase/perf fails to track my custom trace

[samuelhulla]

Issue

I'm trying to implement firebase performance monitoring for @react-native-firebase. I have followed the official installation guide and it sees to have worked, as inside my firebase console I can now view the automated performance tracking metrics.

Next I tried implementing some custom traces with the following code:

import perf, { FirebasePerformanceTypes } from '@react-native-firebase/perf'

export type TraceType = {
  name: string,
  component: string,
  userId: string,
  userType: 'manager' | 'staffer' | 'superadmin',
}

export const stopTrace = async (traceObject: FirebasePerformanceTypes.Trace) => {
  try {
    await traceObject.stop()
  } catch (_e) {
    console.error('[Perf]: Unable to unsubscribe from trace object', traceObject)
  }
}

export const trace = async (traceData: TraceType) => {
  const {
    name,
    component,
    userId,
    userType,
  } = traceData

  // This begins tracing a custom trace metric
  const traceObject = await perf().startTrace(name)

  // Now we add attributes we want to track
  traceObject.putAttribute('component', component)
  traceObject.putAttribute('userId', userId)
  traceObject.putAttribute('userType', userType)

  return traceObject
}

export default {
  trace,
  stopTrace,
}

Pretty standard stuff - now when I tried tracking a simple method inside a component in the following way.

// ... rest of component here but skipped for readability. This is one of componenet mehtods:

  toggleAgreedToBilling = async (checked: boolean) => {
    const traceObject = await trace({
      name: 'test_Billing_toggle',
      component: 'SetupStafferProfile_AgreedBillingToggle',
      userId: this.props.staffer.id,
      userType: 'staffer',
    })
    // ... there's some internal logic here but i'll simplify it to single async call for readability
    await madeUpCall()
    await stopTrace(traceObject)
  }

The method itself in the build fires correctly and does not produce any errors. However when I open the firebase console and view custom traces, it only shows the default ones.

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Note, all the @react-native-firebase/* packages are at the current 14.2.2 version

Probably not related but I noticed this you use react-native-splash-screen - careful with that one:

crazycodeboy/react-native-splash-screen#289 - repo was fully dead from 2019 until just this December so it doesn't develop quickly either. Suggest react-native-bootsplash

Also, react-native < 0.65 is very worrisome, it does not even build with Xcode 12.5+ or on M1 macs, I would be suprised if react-native 0.63 worked correctly on Android 12 ? It might, but...I'd hop on https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/ and get up to date, there aren't many difficult changes from 0.63 forward.

classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3"
classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.2.0'

Those are out of date, but the perf plugin is up to date, and it's the one that should matter the most. Plus you are receiving some traces, so that's a good sign.

Those are all possibly of interest, but likely have no bearing on the actual problem, which is unfortunate - as it means it needs more investigation and I have not personally used custom traces so I'm not as familiar with them and likely won't have time to test locally for a while.

We do test this locally in our e2e harness:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/main/packages/perf/e2e/Trace.e2e.js

But there is no external verification of trace delivery to the backend, so it could be false positive on the tests. There were issues with analytics debug mode attributes not showing in debug mode on the console, but showing up later once some unknown backend post-processing had happened, which I mention as anecdote to leave open the possibility that the console itself is malfunctioning somehow, beyond our control.

Separate avenue of inquiry, if this is happening on just one platform (android, or apple), or on both but you want to focus on one where you definitely reproduce then combining the native sdk issue list for that platform may be informative. Also checking the native logs during reproduction (xcode console while running on real device, or adb logcat for android) may yield something. Reaching directly into node_modules and adding logging prior to any native perf API calls (including all params) and logging all return values may also yield something, for low effort

[samuelhulla]

@mikehardy Yeah, unfortunately this is a legacy project with a lot of outdated dependencies with multiple people working on it and updating would cause breaking changes, but it is on the backlog at least, but you know how the project planning goes.

Complaints aside, for some reason, changing the version of the simulator target from iPhone 11 to iPhone 12 in combination with upgrading $FirebaseSDK in Podfile did resolve the issue on my end - albeit I might note this may just be pure coincidence and this was simply analytics debug mode attirbutes not showing in console and showing up later, as your comment claims on annecdotal evidence.

I was prompted to do this, as I received this warning which previously did not show in the console:

I wish I could provide further info for anyone with similar issues, but probably your best shot is upgrading react-native-firebase versions and firebase sdk and then rebuilding the project via coca-pods with pod install --repo-update.

---

Also as a quick mention for anyone still struggling:

One last thing which also took me a short moment to figure out is to make sure you have the correct platform selected in performance mode in console, as I did stupidly for the first time did look through the Android build, which is selected by default despite testing on iOS

This was not the issue on my end, but it's relatively easy to miss, so just in case you missed it, make sure you have the correct platform selected.

[mikehardy]

Thanks for posting how you were able to resolve it, this stuff is tricky but perhaps your info will help a future person. And yes I have fallen for that platform selection issue before. Same for crashlytics...
