Closing all spans and flushing before calling exec?

[zmitchell]

I have a CLI tool that calls exec and thus never returns from the function that calls exec. I think this is causing some of my spans to never finish (and thus telemetry to not be sent). Is there a way I can tell the tracing subsystem "pretend we're about to return from main and flush what you've got" before I call exec?

The offending function: flox activate command with Sentry integration.

Sorry, it took me a second to understand the question: I'm guessing that exec means that Drop isn't ever called, which is the basis of the functionality you're looking for. There's nothing like what you're describing, you might need a some mechanism on the Sentry later to force a flush, not tracing in general.
