Fixes #2861

The OTel SDK setup file was only ever loaded by the dev API server watcher, and via --require, which cannot load an ESM file that uses top-level await.

A shared getOTelImportArgs() helper in @cedarjs/project-config resolves the built api/dist/opentelemetry.js and returns a --import=<path> entry. It is now used by:

  • the dev watcher (api-server-watch) — replacing the inline --require logic
  • the production API server with a server file (cedarjs-server api, cedar serve api)
  • the job workers (cedar jobs work|start forks)
  • the default in-process API server, which await import()s the setup file before Fastify, Prisma and the app's own modules load

The setup command now prints the flag to use when running under your own process manager.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • OpenTelemetry setup now loads automatically for API servers and job workers started through supported Cedar commands, including cedar dev and cedarjs-server api.
    • A notice explains how to load OpenTelemetry with Node’s --import flag or NODE_OPTIONS when using a custom process manager.
  • Bug Fixes
    • If OpenTelemetry is enabled but its setup file is missing, Cedar warns and continues without loading it.
    • When CLI telemetry is active, cedar serve warns that app OpenTelemetry setup cannot load in the same process and explains alternatives.

Walkthrough

A shared helper resolves OpenTelemetry setup files and preload arguments. API server startup paths and forked job workers use the preload arguments. In-process server paths load the setup before server modules when CLI telemetry is inactive. The CLI notice describes automatic loading and custom process-manager options.

Changes

OpenTelemetry setup loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve OpenTelemetry setup
packages/project-config/src/otel.ts, packages/project-config/src/index.ts, packages/project-config/src/__tests__/otel.test.ts
Adds and exports helpers to resolve the setup file URL, produce and quote Node --import arguments, and check CLI telemetry state. Tests cover configuration, missing files, and returned arguments.
Pass preload arguments to child processes
packages/api-server-watch/src/serverManager.ts, packages/api-server/src/serverFile.ts, packages/cli/src/commands/serveApiHandler.ts, packages/cli/src/commands/serveBothHandler.ts, packages/jobs/src/bins/cedar-jobs.ts
API server and job worker child processes receive OpenTelemetry preload arguments in their Node startup arguments.
Load setup before in-process server modules
packages/api-server/src/apiCLIConfigHandler.ts, packages/api-server/src/bothCLIConfigHandler.ts, packages/api-server/src/bin.ts, packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts, packages/cli/src/commands/experimental/setupOpentelemetryHandler.ts, packages/cli/src/telemetry/index.ts
In-process server paths load the setup before importing server modules when CLI telemetry is inactive. API command handlers load dynamically when invoked. CLI telemetry sets a global state flag, and the setup notice describes automatic loading and custom process-manager options.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5a987

On Windows, a project path with multiple spaces can alter the OpenTelemetry preload URL and prevent the API command from loading it. Correct the command launch before merging unless this limitation is explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 99c31

Loading telemetry setup before application code improves instrumentation coverage, but a failing setup can now prevent multiple services and replacement job workers from starting. No attacker-driven path or privilege escalation was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: When enabled setup code exists but fails during evaluation, its newly shared preload can prevent API startup and replacement job workers from starting. Restart stops the old workers before launching detached replacements without checking their readiness.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently affected runtime scope is the configured project's API-serving processes and ordinary job workers. Setup code executes with each process's existing authority; the inspected helper introduces no separate credential or network permission.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The setup source is resolved from project configuration to the built API directory, rather than from a request parameter. No path from an unauthenticated request to choosing or modifying that file was established; access controls on deployed build output were not available to assess.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Startup availability now depends on successful evaluation of an existing enabled setup file. Missing files instead warn and allow startup without this instrumentation; neither outcome establishes whether telemetry is a required security control for a particular deployment.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define the deployment's policy for a missing or failing telemetry setup, and verify replacement-worker readiness before treating restart as complete. If queue-clearing activity requires tracing, explicitly cover or document that separate fork.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

[High impact] The PR appears safe to merge with the documented CLI telemetry tradeoff.

Summary

The PR shares OpenTelemetry setup loading across API launchers and job workers.

  • Separate API servers and job workers load OpenTelemetry before app code.
  • In-process servers load OpenTelemetry before app code when CLI telemetry is off.
  • The OpenTelemetry setup command explains how to load the file yourself.

The build-lint-test failure is the pre-existing red paths.test.ts on main (#2883 fixes it — every open PR fails that job until it lands). The consolidated-tests failure is a Cypress/Vite flake in the tutorial (Routes.jsx does not provide an export named 'default'); steps 0–3 passed and this branch is a no-op with OpenTelemetry disabled.

Sorry about that. I merged that PR now

The setup path is now returned as a file URL so Node resolves it as an
ESM specifier on Windows too. The default API server and the both-sides
in-process server import Fastify and the server factory after the setup
file, so the Fastify instrumentation can still patch them. The bin entry
loads the api handlers lazily for the same reason. cedar serve --ud
imports the setup before the built Fetchable, cedar serve with a custom
server file preloads it on the node process for both sides, and the

Addressed in d44b23b:

  • The setup path is returned as a file URL, so --import and the in-process import() resolve it as an ESM specifier on Windows too
  • The default API server (and the both-sides in-process server, plus the bin entry that dispatches to them) now import Fastify and the server factory after the setup file, so the Fastify instrumentation can patch them
  • cedar serve --ud imports the setup before loading the built Fetchable
  • cedar serve with a custom server file preloads the setup on the node process for both sides (bothServerFileHandler)
  • The dev --ud path runs through the unified dev server, which is Vite-based; the setup file is a compiled api/dist artifact, and that mode never loads from api/dist, so I left it out rather than half-support it
  • The test now deletes CEDAR_CWD when it was originally unset

Restore the web handler binding.

The changed imports no longer define webHandler, but this command still references it. Every cedarjs-server invocation fails while registering commands, before yargs parses the selected command. Load the web handler lazily in this callback, as the api and default callbacks now do.

Thanks for picking this up! Loading the setup file in every process that runs app code is the right fix for #2861.

I found two things that need fixing before merge:

  1. CLI telemetry conflict. For cedar serve --ud, and for cedar serve / cedar serve api without a server file, the setup file is imported inside the cedar CLI process, which has already registered its own global tracer provider for CLI telemetry. The app's provider then never becomes global, so its spans end up in CLI telemetry instead of the user's collector. Details inline.
  2. The setup notice claims --ud support. It says unified dev loads the setup file, but nothing in that path does.

The other inline comments are smaller. Two minor points that aren't anchored to a line:

  • The --import= prefix is parsed by hand (arg.slice('--import='.length)) in three places. Exporting a getOTelSetupFileUrl() helper from project-config and building both the argv and the in-process import from it would remove that string protocol.
  • The otel.ts docblock calls --import "ESM-correct", but the setup template doesn't register an ESM loader hook (module.register for @opentelemetry/instrumentation/hook.mjs). In ESM apps, instrumentations that rely on require-in-the-middle, such as Fastify's, won't patch regardless of load order. That predates this PR, so it's only about the docblock wording.

This loads the app's OTel setup inside the cedar CLI process, which already has a global tracer provider.

packages/cli/src/index.ts calls startTelemetry(), which registers a global NodeTracerProvider for Cedar's CLI telemetry (packages/cli/src/telemetry/index.ts:52), and telemetry is on by default. When the app's setup file then calls provider.register() in the same process, the OTel API rejects the duplicate global registration.

So with yarn cedar serve --ud and OTel enabled, the app's spans, including the wrapApi wrapping (OTEL_TRACE.getTracer(...)), go to the CLI telemetry exporter, parented under the CLI's root span, instead of the user's OTLP collector. The user gets no traces, and their app trace data ends up in Cedar's CLI telemetry.

The --import child-process paths don't have this problem because they start a fresh process. One option: run the server in a child process with getOTelImportArgs() here too, or at least skip the in-process import while CLI telemetry is active.

// entry is stripped down to the URL and imported. Fastify and the server
// factory are imported afterwards for the same reason.

Same issue as in serve.ts: cedar serve api without an api/src/server.ts calls this handler inside the CLI process (serveApiHandler → apiServerCLIConfig.handler), where CLI telemetry has already registered the global tracer provider. The app's provider and context manager never become global, so its spans are misrouted or lost. Only running cedarjs-server api directly behaves correctly.

Same in-process issue for cedar serve without a server file: this runs inside the CLI process, which already has the CLI telemetry provider registered globally.

This says cedar dev --ud loads the setup file automatically, but nothing in the unified dev path does. cedar-unified-dev.ts and devHandler.ts don't add getOTelImportArgs() or import the setup file, and apiDevMiddleware.ts only applies the wrapApi wrapping. So --ud users who rely on this notice get no instrumentation and no warning. Either wire it up for unified dev or drop (including --ud) from the notice.

The bare catch { return [] } treats every getConfig() failure as "not a Cedar project". A real project with a TOML syntax error or a broken env interpolation in cedar.toml then has OTel silently disabled for the API server, dev watcher and job workers, with nothing logged. Could this check for the config file instead (e.g. via getConfigPath()) and let parse errors surface?

name: 'api',
command: `${formatRunBinCommand('node', [path.join('dist', 'server.js'), '--apiPort', String(argv.apiPort), '--apiHost', argv.apiHost, '--apiRootPath', apiRootPath])}`,

formatRunBinCommand joins its arguments with spaces and no quoting (cli-helpers/src/packageManager/display.ts:96), and concurrently runs the result through a shell. This command now contains an absolute file:// URL. pathToFileURL encodes spaces, but not &, (, ), ', $ or ;. So a project at e.g. ~/Work & Play/app or ~/proj (copy) with OTel enabled would fail to start the API side. Before this change the command held only relative paths. Quoting the --import= argument would avoid it.

getOTelImportArgs() runs once per worker inside the map, so cedar.toml is parsed and the setup file checked N times, and when the setup file is missing the warning prints once per worker. Computing it once before the map fixes both.

This rewrites the checked-in __fixtures__/empty-project config in place and deletes its api/dist. Test suites in other packages use that fixture and run in parallel under yarn test, so they can see OTel enabled or api/dist missing, which risks flaky failures. If the run is killed between the write and the restore, the committed fixture stays modified. Copying the fixture to a temp dir would avoid both.

…e, config error handling

- skip the in-process OTel setup import when the CLI telemetry provider is
  already registered in the same process (serve --ud, serve api/serve
  without a server file): the app's provider could not become global
  there and its spans were misrouted into CLI telemetry
- export getOTelSetupFileUrl() from project-config and build both the
  child-process argv and the in-process import from it, removing the
  hand-parsed '--import=' prefix in three places
- drop the '(including --ud)' claim from the setup notice
- let cedar.toml parse errors surface from getOTelSetupFileUrl() instead
  of treating them as "not a Cedar project"
- quote the --import argument in the concurrently-run api command
- compute getOTelImportArgs() once before the worker map in cedar-jobs
- copy the empty-project fixture to a temp dir in otel tests instead of
  rewriting the checked-in fixture

Thanks for the review! All points addressed in 826567c:

  1. CLI telemetry conflict: startTelemetry() now sets a globalThis.__CEDAR_CLI_TELEMETRY__ marker, and the three in-process import sites (serve.ts startUDServer, apiCLIConfigHandler, bothCLIConfigHandler) skip the import and print a warning pointing at --telemetry false when the marker is set. The --import child-process paths are unchanged. I went with the skip option rather than spawning a child process, since that would change how serve runs the server.
  2. The setup notice no longer claims --ud loads the setup file.
  3. getOTelSetupFileUrl() now only treats a missing config file as "not a Cedar project" (via getConfigPath() throwing). A config that exists but fails to parse propagates the error from getConfig().
  4. The --import argument is quoted in the formatRunBinCommand command run by concurrently.
  5. getOTelImportArgs() is computed once before the worker map in cedar-jobs.ts.
  6. The otel tests copy the empty-project fixture to a temp dir instead of rewriting the checked-in fixture.
  7. Added getOTelSetupFileUrl() exported from @cedarjs/project-config; both the argv entries and the in-process imports consume it, so the hand-parsed --import= prefix is gone.
  8. Reworded the otel.ts docblock: it now says --import is used because the setup file uses top-level await, and notes that ESM modules are only patched when a loader hook is registered, which the template doesn't do.

…precise setup notice

- quoteOTelImportArgs in project-config quotes the --import file URL for
  the shell concurrently runs the api command through: single quotes with
  embedded quotes escaped for POSIX sh, double quotes for Windows cmd.exe,
  where single quotes are literal characters
- the setup notice no longer claims cedar serve api and cedar serve load
  the setup file automatically: they run the API in the cedar process,
  where the CLI telemetry provider is already registered, so the setup is
  skipped there unless --telemetry false is passed

Both findings are addressed in 5a98716:

  • The --import argument is now quoted by quoteOTelImportArgs() in @cedarjs/project-config: single quotes with embedded quotes escaped for POSIX sh, double quotes for Windows cmd.exe, where single quotes are literal characters. A project directory like O'Brien survives both.
  • The setup notice no longer claims cedar serve api and cedar serve load the setup file automatically: they run the API in the cedar process, where the CLI telemetry provider is already registered, so the setup is skipped there unless --telemetry false is passed.

New tests cover the quoting for both platforms (including the apostrophe case) in packages/project-config/src/__tests__/otel.test.ts.

- Around line 104-105: Update the Windows argument handling in the
platform-specific mapping so percent-encoded file URLs remain unchanged through
cmd.exe parsing; use a launch path that bypasses the shell or escape percent
signs for each parsing layer. Add a test covering an argument with two encoded
spaces and verify the API receives the original URL.
