error-tracking-svelte

To track runtime errors in a SvelteKit application, install the PostHog SDK and enable autocapture to automatically report client-side and server-side exceptions. This allows you to detect and triage frontend issues quickly by routing them to your team with relevant context.

Error tracking in Svelte works by instrumenting the frontend to capture and report runtime exceptions to PostHog. It automatically collects errors from SPA components and server-side routes, attaching relevant context so your team receives alerts for faster resolution.

Yes, you can capture server-side route errors in SvelteKit by optionally wiring server-side error capture into your PostHog configuration. This provides enhanced visibility beyond client-side rendering by monitoring exceptions across your entire application environment.

Yes, configuring environment variables for your project host is required to enable PostHog error tracking in Svelte. You must set these variables during SDK initialization to ensure captured exceptions are correctly routed to your PostHog project.

To test exception capture in a Svelte app after setup, trigger a test error within your application to verify that the capture is sent to PostHog. This confirms your SDK initialization and environment variables are correctly configured for monitoring.
