I'm trying to add Plausible analytics to my GitHub pages site. I assume that when everything works, the following snippet should be added somewhere between the <head> tags:

<script async defer data-domain="roald87.github.io" src="https://plausible.io/js/plausible.js"></script>

I did the following:

  1. Added gem 'jekyll-analytics' to my Gemfile
  2. Did bundle install, where I see the following line in the output: Using jekyll-analytics 0.1.14
  3. Added the following to my _config.yml file: 
    plugins:
  - jekyll-analytics
whitelist: [jekyll-analytics]

Plausible:
  domain: 'roald87.github.io'   # The domain configured in plausible
  source: 'https://plausible.io/js/plausible.js' # The source of the javascript
  4. Did bundle exec jekyll serve JEKYLL_ENV=production

When I inspect the index.html no analytics tag is added in the head. I also tested it with the GoogleAnalytics one, by replacing the Plausible: ... with:

GoogleAnalytics:          # Add, if you want to track with Google Analytics
    id: UA-123-456          # Required - replace with your tracking id
    anonymizeIp: true      # Optional - Default: false - set to true for anonymized tracking

But again with the same result.

When I check the verbose output of jekyll serve I do no see the jekyll-analytics module being used anywhere:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve --verbose JEKYLL_ENV=production | grep "Requiring"
         Requiring: jekyll-github-metadata
         Requiring: jekyll-seo-tag
         Requiring: jekyll-feed
         Requiring: jemoji
         Requiring: jekyll-coffeescript
         Requiring: jekyll-commonmark-ghpages
         Requiring: jekyll-gist
         Requiring: jekyll-github-metadata
         Requiring: jekyll-paginate
         Requiring: jekyll-relative-links
         Requiring: jekyll-optional-front-matter
         Requiring: jekyll-readme-index
         Requiring: jekyll-default-layout
         Requiring: jekyll-titles-from-headings
         Requiring: jekyll-remote-theme
         Requiring: jekyll-seo-tag
         Requiring: kramdown-parser-gfm
/home/roald/gems/gems/pathutil-0.16.2/lib/pathutil.rb:502: warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated
         Requiring: jekyll-watch

Or doesn't it show up in here?

Am I doing something wrong here?

My solution was to fork the jekyll theme repo and hard code the Plausible snippet in there Roald87/texture@85a1820.

@Roald87 The environment variable needs to be set before Jekyll runs, right now you're setting it too late.

See:

# correct:
JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll serve

# incorrect:
bundle exec jekyll serve JEKYLL_ENV=production

@Roald87 It's been a few days. Can you confirm if that solved your issue?

🤷 it still doesn't work.

Never mind then. I'm OK with the work-around.
