node.js – AWS X-Ray throws error – Failed to get the current sub/segment from the context

I am experiencing an error after adding code to trace SQS queue integrations and outgoing HTTP/s calls. Below are the code snippets integrated into my project:

// Tracing calls to downstream HTTP web services using the X-Ray SDK for Node.js
// Example app.js - HTTP client (global)
var AWSXRay = require('aws-xray-sdk');
AWSXRay.captureHTTPsGlobal(require('http'));
var http = require('http');

// Tracing AWS SDK calls with the X-Ray SDK for Node.js
// Example sqs-client.js - SQS client instrumentation using SDK for Javascript V3
import { SQSClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-sqs";
const client = new SQSClient({region: 'AWS_REGION'});

CloudWatch is continuously flooded with the following log:

  }
}

I have tried the following solutions without success:

• Wrapping the consumer.start() function inside captureFunc.

• Adding AWSXRay.setContextMissingStrategy("LOG_ERROR") to log only errors.

• Testing multiple solutions found online.

The project’s npm dependencies include:

Has anyone encountered and resolved a similar issue, or can suggest an alternative method to trace outgoing HTTP/s calls?
