Hello! I need help with the code. I'm trying to reach a page, and I need to verify that the google analytics is getting 204.
I'm trying to understand the documentation, but I cannot make it work. It would be really helpfull if someone can give me the code in order to check it.
I need to verify that the URL that includes collect?v=2&tid=G-TYDS4GPM5T gets 204
If it could be in JS, would be great ๐
Thank you!
This thread is trying to answer question "How can I verify that a specific URL in a Google Analytics network request returns a 204 status code using JavaScript?"
Here is your answer from chatgpt:
Hello! You can use Playwright to navigate to a webpage and check if a specific URL returns a 204 status code. Here's a JavaScript example of how you can achieve this:
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Navigate to the webpage you want to test
await page.goto('https://example.com'); // Replace with the actual URL
// Wait for the network request to complete
await page.waitForResponse(response => {
return response.url().includes('collect?v=2&tid=G-TYDS4GPM5T') && response.status() === 204;
});
console.log('Google Analytics request returned a 204 status code.');
await browser.close();
})();
Make sure to replace 'https://example.com'
with the actual URL you want to test. This code launches a browser, navigates to the webpage, and waits for a network request that matches your criteria (URL and status code) before logging a message indicating that the Google Analytics request returned a 204 status code.
Actually the ChatGPT code does have some flaws:
Improved script version:
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Start observing Google analytics response.
const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse(response => {
return response.url().includes('collect?v=2&tid=G-TYDS4GPM5T');
});
// Navigate to the webpage you want to test
await page.goto('https://example.com'); // Replace with the actual URL
const response = await responsePromise;
assert.strictEqual(response.status(), 204);
console.log('Google Analytics request returned a 204 status code.');
await browser.close();
})();```
Improved test version:
```import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('Google analytics responds with 204', async ({ page }) => {
// Start observing Google analytics response.
const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse(response => {
return response.url().includes('collect?v=2&tid=G-TYDS4GPM5T');
});
// Navigate to the webpage you want to test
await page.goto('https://example.com'); // Replace with the actual URL
const response = await responsePromise;
expect(response).toBe(204);
});```
