How to setup open telemetry in a remix project with vite?

[gabriel-rye]

Im trying to setup open telemetry with remix.

Looking the the build server folder I see the telemetry code is added right after the imports. But the telemetry code must be before imports to allow it to wrap packages.

Any idea how can I do this?

I'm happy to pair with you on this issue. I'm working my way through https://github.com/mikearnaldi/vite-remix-effect. That project works, but it uses an outdated version of Effect, and I'm having trouble understanding the logic so I could reproduce it with the current version.

I think Remix has no inbuilt way of deciding where the OpenTelemetry library will run. In my experience, I get errors in the browser complaining of an initialisation race condition, that is, OpenTelemetry tries to initialise twice at every page load. Nasty.

Got it working, in my case for Honeycomb. OpenTelemetry shouln't be much different.
