To validate tracking of Social Interactions, use the following Array in your Jasmine expectations:
['send', 'social', { ─────────────────────> 1&2. (Standard Google Analytics parameters)
'socialNetwork': 'Facebook', ─────────> 3. Social Interaction Network
'socialAction': 'Like', ──────────────> 4. Social Interaction Action
'socialTarget': 'http://example.com' ─> 5. Social Interaction Target (URL)
}]
Using direct ga()
calls, checking proper tracking of Social Interactions could be done in the following manner:
describe('The Google Analytics "Social Interactions" tracking', function () {
beforeEach(function () {
// Load the page to test:
browser.get('index.html');
// Register the Google Analytics Event Data Interceptor:
browser.driver.registerGoogleAnalyticsEventDataInterceptor();
});
it('should fire a Social Interaction when clicking on the "Facebook Like" button', function (done) {
// Click on the "Facebook Like" Button:
element( by.css('#facebookLike') ).click();
// Get the "LastEvent" object back from the browser:
browser.driver.executeScript(function () {
return window.GAWebTester.getLastEvent();
})
.then(
// Validate the content of the "LastData" object:
function successCallback (LastData) {
expect( LastData ).toEqual( ['send', 'social', {
'socialNetwork': 'Facebook',
'socialAction': 'Like',
'socialTarget': 'http://example.com'
}] );
},
// If there was an error getting back the "LastData" object from the browser, fail the test:
function errorCallback (error) {
fail('Should not have received Error: ' + JSON.stringify(error));
}
)
.then(done);
});
});
