SetFingerprint prevents logging in Sentry

SDKs

Dear all, I added SetFingerprint in C# .Net Core as explained in document:

                        SentrySdk.Init(options =>
                        {
                            options.BeforeSend = _event =>
                            {
                                if (_event .Exception is Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException ||
                                    _event .Exception is MembershipDeleteException)
                                {
                                    _event .SetFingerprint(new[] { "database error" });
                                }
                               }
                                else
                                {
                                    _event .SetFingerprint(new[] { "unknown error" });
                                }
                                return _event ;
                            };
                        });

now there is no event in the Sentry. If I comment these lines then it works

I found out it is not working because @event.Exception is null. Now, trying to find out how to set it

it could be null if somewhere is capturing messages, for example:

SentrySdk.CaptureMessage(“Hello World”);
or
SentrySdk.CaptureMessage(exception.Message, SentryLevel.Error);

That triggers the BeforeSend callback and has no exception.

Also, are you capturing exceptions and they don’t have any data on @event.Exception? If so, would you mind sharing how are you capturing the exception?
