Hi, I have managed to get some data sent back to Google Analytics but that only seems to be when a page is refreshed. I have added a GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getCurrent().sendEvent() to a afterNavigationEvent(). The page view would already get picked up with a page refresh anyway but the event is only sent back once I refresh the page and not when I navigate normally. This is weird as the method is called when I navigate to the page without a refresh. Is getCurrent() not likely to work without a refresh?

        // Use this if you still haven't upgraded to Universal tracking API
        // tracker.setUniversalTracking(false);

is this "universal api" something that users of this JAR dependency need to configure somewhere? in their Google Analytics Accounts? in their web.xml? somewhere else?
my impression was that the library (JAR file) itself manages what js file is used to track pages or events.
maybe it makes sense to mention that in the file.

UPDATE:
I found that my events were not shown in GoogleAnalytics because of a filter I had. pilot error :)
feel free to close this issue.

awesome plugin!

The README.md says

Official releases of this add-on are available at Vaadin Directory. For Maven instructions, download and reviews, go to http://vaadin.com/addon/vaadin-ga-tracker

The link seems to be invalid as it resolves a HTTP 404 error. So it is unclear how to use this addon in e.g. a maven based project (Vaadin 10+).

It seems like the correct link is: https://vaadin.com/directory/component/googleanalyticstracker

Should follow the conventions from https://github.com/viritin/archetype-vaadin-addon

When i added maven dependencies as ::

org.vaadin.addons
googleanalyticstracker
3.0.0

then also i am getting error in my application for the @IgnorePageView, @EnableGoogleAnalytics(value = "UA-658457-8") and GoogleAnalyticsTracker.getCurrent(), as the classes are not available..

Please help me to find the proper solution.

Hello, first of all thanks for the plugin butI have some problems on version14.
The project will be used in different sites so
@enablegoogleanalytics(value = "xxxxyyyy")
I was unable to put this annotation value from outside(inject). I am having trouble because everyone's google analytics value is different. So is there anyway to make it dynamic?
Do you have any suggestions?

Are there any plans to switch to use of gtag? Reason being, this plugin doesn't seem to work with G-measurement Id's and Google suppor tfor universal id's is being removed in 2023.

Should this addon work with Vaadin 23 and GA4?

I can't find the tracking ID in the browser developer console.

this file
http://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-addons/org/vaadin/addons/googleanalyticstracker/2.2.0/googleanalyticstracker-2.2.0.pom

refers to parent googleanalyticstracker-addon which cannot be found in the repo suggested by Maven instructions page for the plugin.

Ditto.

An instance of GoogleAnalyticsTracker is added into the UI here:

How to deattach/ remove the tracker, when the session/view is closed?
I am using googleAnalyticsTracker.remove();, but that doesnt seem to be working. I am having memory leak with this as the tracker object keeps getting accumulated

I used @EnableGoogleAnalytics with Vaadin 14.0.2 and it all works perfectly. I have now upgraded to Vaadin 14.1.3 and it no longer works at all. Nothing is sent back to Google Analytics and the Google Tag extension finds the tracker code but complains about a HTTP response. I don't 100% know what 14.1 would have released to break this. Any ideas what could have broken this?

The addon still uses unsecure http repositories for vaadin-addons and vaadin-prerelease.
This happens due to the use of the Vaadin Platform (Bill of Materials) version 10.0.0 (see following screenshot).

Since Maven 3.8.1 http repositories are blocked. So any project with this maven version or higher cannot build a project containing this addon (see following screenshot).

Could you please release a newer version with updated dependencies?

Hi,

if I download the actual Maven package there is no userId-constructor like you added within the latest changes one year ago. Could you please add a version to Maven and also update the Addon site at vaadin?
Also the event tracking from the PR would be nice to have..

Thank you

executeJavascript (called by GoogleAnalyticsTracker) has been deprecated in Vaadin 14 and was removed in Vaadin 24.0.0.alpha10

This change would require a new major version of the add-on (or some reflection trick), since the latest one is compatible with Vaadin 10 to 23.
