No more last_event_id

[maltalk]

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Version

2.1.0

Steps to Reproduce

https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/features/#retrieve-last-event-id
The method last_event_id does not exist anymore. I understand that's been deprecated but, how are we supposed to show the event_id to the user now?
from sentry_sdk import last_event_id

Expected Result

Be able to get the last event id from a non controlled exception and show it to the final user.
In django for example, the recommended way was this:

from sentry_sdk import last_event_id

from django.shortcuts import render


def custom_handler500(request):
    context = {
        "request": request,
        "title": "Error 500",
        "last_event_id": last_event_id(),
    }
    template_name = "500.html"
    return render(request, template_name, context, status=500)

Actual Result

ImportError: cannot import name 'last_event_id' from 'sentry_sdk' (/app/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/sentry_sdk/__init__.py)

Hi @maltalk, thank you for reporting this feedback. We plan to re-add this functionality to the SDK, although we might rename the function

Thanks @szokeasaurusrex for your quick response.
Could you give me a date estimate?
Right now we are frozen on version 1.45 for this reason.

I'm not trying to rush anything at all. We understand that after the total refactor of the SDK it is not something that can be done overnight.

No estimate yet @maltalk – however, since we need the last_event_id functionality for the user feedback dialog, we will likely prioritize adding this back
