Sentry-javascript: ReferenceError: fixedTimeID is not defined

[aksel]

This is a complete shot in the dark, and is most likely off-topic for this repo, but I have no other leads.

We are not using Sentry at the moment. Manpower is the issue, mostly.

Anyhow, I wrote a simple window.onerror function for our website. Recently, a strange error keeps getting thrown: fixedTimeID is not defined.

It is thrown once per second, and only on Android devices so far. I have no other information; it is anonymous. It happens on 1:4, so it might be minified code.

fixedTimeID does not exist in our codebase, and doesn't appear in our dependencies.

Stranger, even, searching for "fixedTimeID" (in quotes) on Google only yields two results, both on jsunpack.jeek.org, in some minified code. Both are the file 33bd/f347ca6477273cb4c17e76bae524df4b9303, from academia.edu

Here's a link to one of them

It appears to be an init function for Raven. fixedTimeID appears to be set in the ignoreErrors variable, among other errors, such as out of memory, and a common React error.

So that's why I'm here. fixedTimeID doesn't seem to appear in your codebase, but I thought I might as well ask anyhow.

Unfortunately never heard of it and cannot find any useful info myself as well :(

[aksel]

Ah too bad, thanks for the information anyhow.

[aksel]

I'm just gonna close this so it doesn't clutter up your issues.

The error probably comes from some obscure, closed-source browser extension.

The academia.edu config is very similar to this gist, with some extra React stuff, and the elusive fixedTimeID.

[kamilogorek]

Thanks. Good luck finding the issue!

@aksel I'm having same issues --- fixedTimeID is not defined
Did you figure out why this kind error is throwing, only on Android devices?

[aksel]

Nope, but I am pretty sure it is an extension of some kind. I haven't been able to reproduce the error myself, even using the same Android version.

You can probably add the error to your ignore list, but who knows.

[jaredsilver]

We're also seeing this. Exclusively on Android 6.0 on Chrome Mobile for a Techno W2 device.

[andreasvirkus]

Exactly the same for us as for @jaredsilver (the device is a TECNO-W3).

If it's of any help, the event ID is afd712a44c334f23a9d1c6cb36c1b2da

[kamilogorek]

@andreasvirkus can you paste a whole event link? ID without organization doesnt tell me where to look for it

[andreasvirkus]

@kamilogorek sure thing!

Noone on the whole internet heard about fixedTimeID... 😅I'd just filter it out in your Sentry project settings.

I have got the same error. Google gives me 2 results. This issue link and a resutlt that has nothing to do with this error. NEver seen it before and I have no ide from where it came from. 😅
