Key Technical Changes

The core changes involve updating the next dependency version in three package.json files: dev-packages/e2e-tests/test-applications/create-next-app/package.json (from 14.0.0 to 14.2.25), dev-packages/e2e-tests/test-applications/nextjs-13/package.json (from 13.5.7 to 13.5.9), and packages/nextjs/package.json (from 13.2.0 to 13.5.9 in devDependencies). The yarn.lock file is updated to reflect these dependency changes, including updates to @next/env, @swc/helpers, platform-specific SWC binaries, busboy, and watchpack.

Architecture Decisions

No significant architectural decisions were made. The changes primarily involve dependency updates. The selection of specific Next.js versions (14.2.25 and 13.5.9) likely reflects a balance between stability, feature set, and compatibility with the existing Sentry Next.js SDK.

Dependencies and Interactions

This change directly impacts the test applications used for end-to-end testing of the Sentry Next.js SDK. It also affects the development environment for the SDK itself. The updated dependencies, particularly @swc/helpers, busboy, and watchpack, could potentially interact with the SDK's build process, runtime behavior, and file watching capabilities. The peer dependency range for next in packages/nextjs/package.json is important for ensuring compatibility with different Next.js versions.

Risk Considerations

The primary risk is potential breaking changes introduced by the Next.js upgrades, especially the minor version jump from 14.0.0 to 14.2.25. Thorough testing of the test applications is crucial to identify any regressions or compatibility issues. The updated SWC helpers and other dependencies could also introduce unexpected behavior. It's important to verify that the Sentry Next.js SDK continues to function correctly across all supported Next.js versions after these changes.

Notable Implementation Details

The test:build-13 script in create-next-app/package.json uses a specific Next.js version (13.4.19) that is different from the upgraded version in the nextjs-13 test application. This inconsistency should be addressed to ensure accurate testing. The yarn.lock changes include updates to platform-specific SWC binaries, which require testing on different platforms to prevent build failures.
