Reproduction Example/SDK Setup
https://github.com/getsentry/gib-potato/blob/ba97bd13316b2c0d3c8ffb554cd0d720bea09245/frontend/src/main.js#L19-L67
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable experimental interaction spans && tracing
- Click button that triggers a navigation
Expected Result
This is the hard part: I don't particularly like the expected result but our current tracing model relies on the fact that navigation spans start a new trace.
So therefore, I'd expect the navigation span to always be a root span, unless we detect it's a navigation.redirect span in which case it must not be a root span. 🥲
The side-effect of this is that the surrounding interaction span will not link directly to the navigation span but maybe we can tackle this separately (This would be a good candidate for increasing interaction span robustness. I just can't find the issue right now). Given that interaction spans are experimental, I don't care too much about this right now though.
Actual Result
The navigation span is started as a child of the ui.interaction.click interaction idle span.
