Can't get the google analytics part to work

[neslo]

I installed the gem and setup the google analytics part as specificed in the readme.

in config/application.rb i have got

config.middleware.use(Rack::Tracker) do
handler :google_analytics, { tracker: "U-XXX-X"}
end

and when i check the produced script then i get

ga('create', 'U-xxxxxx-X', {"cookieDomain":"auto"});

and not the expected

ga('create', 'U-xxxxxx-X', 'auto');

I am using rack-tracker 0.3.0 and rails 4.1.6 and ruby 2.1.3

Cheers,
Thomas

hej, thats kinda strange ;)

config.middleware.use(Rack::Tracker) do
  handler :google_analytics, { tracker: "U-XXX-X"}
end

should produce:

ruby
ga('create', 'U-xxxxxx-X', {});

as there are no options set for the tracker

config.middleware.use(Rack::Tracker) do
  handler :google_analytics, { tracker: "U-XXX-X", cookie_domain: 'auto'}
end

will yield to

ga('create', 'U-xxxxxx-X', {"cookieDomain":"auto"});

which is not what you'r expecting but is semantically the same. its not completely covered in the documentation but you can see that this "style" is being used for "none".

the debug addon reveals the following:

Hi Lars,

Thanks for your detailed response and it highlights the "problem" is me.

I had initially tested out

handler :google_analytics, { tracker: "U-XXX-X", cookie_domain: 'auto'}

to try and get it to match

ga('create', 'U-xxxxxx-X', 'auto');

which the google docs tells me to expect.

So it seems that i must not have cleared out my cache or something like that when I switched to

handler :google_analytics, { tracker: "U-XXX-X"}

So all is good at your end then.

Thanks,
Thomas
