Description

Fixes #4414

The dont_throw decorator in the VertexAI instrumentation only defined a synchronous wrapper. When applied to async def functions, the try block exits before the coroutine body runs, so instrumentation errors propagate into the user's application and the LLM call never happens.

Changes

  • Branch on asyncio.iscoroutinefunction and return an async wrapper that properly awaits the coroutine inside the try block
  • Follows the same pattern already used in the Anthropic, OpenAI, and google-generativeai packages

Testing

  • Verified that exceptions in async decorated functions are now caught and logged, not propagated to the caller

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved error handling for both synchronous and asynchronous operations.
    • Exceptions are now safely logged and reported through the configured exception logger without interrupting execution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Vertex AI dont_throw decorator now supports synchronous and asynchronous functions. Both wrapper types log caught exceptions and call Config.exception_logger when configured.

Changes

Vertex AI async exception handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dual-mode dont_throw wrapper
packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-vertexai/.../utils.py
The decorator uses asyncio.iscoroutinefunction to select an asynchronous or synchronous wrapper. Both wrappers catch exceptions, log them, and optionally call Config.exception_logger.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a425a

The decorator now supports async functions, but exceptions raised by the configured exception logger can still escape and interrupt the caller, so the PR is not merge-ready until callback failures are contained or explicitly accepted.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent Config.exception_logger failures from escaping.

Line 44 calls user-configured code without protection. If Config.exception_logger raises, dont_throw propagates that new exception to the LLM caller. Catch and debug-log callback failures so instrumentation errors remain non-blocking.

Proposed fix
         if Config.exception_logger:
-            Config.exception_logger(e)
+            try:
+                Config.exception_logger(e)
+            except Exception:
+                logger.debug(
+                    "OpenLLMetry exception logger failed",
+                    exc_info=True,
+                )
