`sentry_sdk.init()` >= 1.5.9 breaks if theres a folder named redis

[n-a-t-e]

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Version

1.5.9

Steps to Reproduce

I have found that my app doesn't run because Sentry doesn't like there being a folder called redis. Same in 1.5.10 . This error doesn't happen using 1.5.8

This test works fine in an empty directory:
$ pip install sentry_sdk==1.5.9 && python -c "import sentry_sdk;sentry_sdk.init()"

Expected Result

nothing

Actual Result

Running the same command after mkdir redis, I get:

Hey @n-a-t-e !
Thanks for the bug report. With release 1.5.9 we released auto enabling of the redis integration: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/pull/737/files

It seems this broke your code.
So the quick fix for you would be to downgrade to 1.5.8.

As this is a regression we put it on high priority.

Any news on this one ?

Thanks.

As a workaround you can include this in your redis module:

class RedisTemp:
    def execute_command(self):
        pass


StrictRedis = RedisTemp()
