Adding stats to queue spans does not update parent transaction or error rate

[lukemun]

Environment

SaaS (https://sentry.io/)

Steps to Reproduce

Context: I am seeing 100% error rate in my lambda producers & consumers when it should be much lower. I am using span.set_status as the docs states. I even see my consumer spans with the correct status in the trace view (ok and internal_error). However, on the queues drawer it says 'unknown' for all 'ok' -> 100% error rate.

From the docs:
Use sentry_sdk.continue_trace() to connect your consumer spans to their associated producer spans, and span.set_status() to mark the trace of your message as success or failed.

Queues Page

I confirmed setting the status on the parent transaction did update the error_rate. Should the span status bubble up to the parent or are the docs incorrect?

Expected Result

Error rate should be set by the span status.

I've updated the docs to use transaction.set_status() for now.

@getsentry/owners-python-sdk can anyone confirm if this is intended behaviour? Using span.set_status() doesn't update the trace context status, but transaction.set_status() does.

[sl0thentr0py]

the span status is just the status of that particular span, so what you see above in the product is indeed the transaction status.

Sounds like this is intended then. The docs are updated to use transaction status now so this is corrected. Closing the issue
