The napari hub is transitioning to a community-run implementation due to launch in June 2025.
Since October 1, 2024, this version is no longer actively maintained and will not be updated. New plugins and plugin updates will continue to be listed.

Napari Error Reporter

napari-error-reporter

Opt-in automated bug/error reporting for napari

License PyPI Python Version CI codecov

Want to help out napari? Install this plugin!

This plugin will automatically send error reports to napari (via sentry.io) whenever an exception occurs while you are using napari.

The first time you run napari after installing this plugin an opt-in notification will appear (Be sure to click "yes", otherwise no reports will be collected or sent). You may opt back out at any time in napari's help menu.

Every effort is made to strip these reports of personally identifiable information. Here is an example exception event:

NOTE: in the opt-in dialog, there is a checkbox labeled "include local variables", checking this will include the value of variables in the local scope when an exception occurs. While these can be very useful when interpreting a bug report, they may occasionally include local file path strings. If that concerns you, please leave this box unchecked
