trace

✓ go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace

Creates a tracer and starts a span using the OpenTelemetry trace API.

package main import ( "context" "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace" ) func main() { tracer := trace.NewNoopTracerProvider().Tracer("example") _, span := tracer.Start(context.Background(), "operation") defer span.End() }

Debug

Known issues

breakingNon-standard API evolution: interfaces may have methods added without major version bump, potentially causing runtime panics for implementations that don't embed the embedded interface.

fix

Embed the corresponding interface from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/embedded in your implementation to get a compilation failure on API changes, or embed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/noop for safe default behavior.
