[Ember] `You must pass a url that begins with the application's rootURL` with none location

[westbee]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/ember

SDK Version

10.32.1

Framework Version

ember-source 5.12

Link to Sentry event

No response

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure Ember app with locationType: "hash" for production/development
2. Set locationType: "none" in test environment (common for Ember tests)
3. Initialize Sentry with @sentry/ember v10.32.1
4. Run acceptance tests
5. Error occurs: You must pass a url that begins with the application's rootURL "/"

Expected Result

The fix in v10.32.1 should handle all location types, including "none" which is commonly used in test environments. There should be no console error when running acceptance tests.

Actual Result

Error: Assertion Failed: You must pass a url that begins with the application's rootURL "/"

Additional Context

The fix in v10.32.1 (addressing issue #18543) correctly handles hash location types, but does not account for other location types like "none" which is the standard location type for Ember test environments.

I tried setting up a fresh ember project to reproduce the error but didn't see this error, do you mind providing a minimal reproduction that has this issue?

I know we could just add a skip for the implementation nonebut I would like to verify it first.

@logaretm Sorry for not being too specific.

So in my case I'm using query params. Here are two tests demonstrating what happens:

// tests/acceptance/application-test.js
import { module, test } from "qunit";
import { visit, currentURL } from "@ember/test-helpers";
import { setupApplicationTest } from "ember-qunit";

module("Acceptance | application", function (hooks) {
  setupApplicationTest(hooks);

  test("visiting with rootURL prefix works", async function (assert) {
    // This works fine - URL starts with rootURL
    await visit("/?param=123");
    assert.strictEqual(currentURL(), "/?param=123");
  });

  test("visiting without rootURL prefix triggers error", async function (assert) {
    // This triggers the mentioned error - URL doesn't start with rootURL
    await visit("?param=123");
    // Ember's test helpers accept this format, and currentURL() works fine
    assert.strictEqual(currentURL(), "?param=123");
  });
});

Ember's test helpers (visit() and currentURL()) are lenient and accept URLs without the leading /, but Sentry's router instrumentation seems to be stricter and requires URLs to start with rootURL. This is a common pattern in Ember tests when using query parameters.

Quick Setup:

1. Create a new Ember app: ember new sentry-ember-repro
2. Install Sentry: npm install @sentry/ember@10.32.1
3. Set locationType: "none" in test environment (standard Ember test config)
4. Initialize Sentry in app/app.js
5. Create acceptance tests (see above)
6. Run tests
