# Using Structured Context via $scope->setExtra

 * I’m successfully getting errors logged in Sentry through the plugin, but when
   trying to use custom Structured Data [as per the plugin docs](https://github.com/stayallive/wp-sentry/tree/0a94932ca94b03f168fdbc138b1dede963381d5f#capturing-handled-exceptions)
   this isn’t coming through with the error. It appears Sentry may have changed 
   their approach to this as [their docs](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/php/enriching-events/context/#structured-context)
   use `$scope->setContext` instead of `$scope->setExtra` though this method doesn’t
   work in this plugin.
 * I’d appreciate any pointers on getting this data to flow through to Sentry.
 * Here’s an example of the code used:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $e = new Exception('Test exception');
       if ( function_exists( 'wp_sentry_safe' ) ) {
       	wp_sentry_safe(function (\Sentry\State\HubInterface $client) use ($e) {
       		$client->withScope(function (\Sentry\State\Scope $scope) use ($client, $e) {
       			$scope->setExtra('test_label', 'test_data');
       			$client->captureException($e);
       		});
       	});
       }
       ```

 * For anyone hitting the same issue, I’ve found a solution. Use `$scope->setContext`,
   ensuring the second parameter is an associative array. For example:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $e = new Exception('Test exception');
       if ( function_exists( 'wp_sentry_safe' ) ) {
       	wp_sentry_safe(function (\Sentry\State\HubInterface $client) use ($e) {
       		$client->withScope(function (\Sentry\State\Scope $scope) use ($client, $e) {
       			$scope->setContext('test_label', [
               'test_label' => 'test_data'
             ]);
       			$client->captureException($e);
       		});
       	});
       }
       ```

 * That was quick with your own answer 😅
 * But yes, `setExtra` is deprecated but technically still available but they might
   have chosen to not show that anymore in the UI.
 * I’ve updated the example to use `setContext` luckily the link to the Sentry docs
   was up-to-date 👍
