Common Errors

BrokenPipeError1 report

BrokenPipeError usually arises when attempting to write to a connection that has already been closed by the other end, often occurring during WSGI application iteration. To resolve this, ensure the iterator returned by the WSGI application does not close prematurely, particularly when handling long-lived connections like WebSockets, by properly managing the generator's lifecycle. Verify that the WSGI server correctly manages the connection, preventing unexpected closures before the application completes its response.

TypeError1 report

The "TypeError" within the `inspect` module in new-relic-sdk often arises from conflicting or outdated dependencies, especially those implicitly managed by the SDK or its interaction with the application's environment. Try upgrading `wrapt` library to the latest version, and explicitly declare all other dependencies used. If upgrading doesn't work, consider downgrading to a known stable SDK version before the introduction of the error with version 10.8.1.
