To validate tracking of User Timings, use the following Array in your Jasmine expectations:
['send', 'timing', { ────────────────────> 1&2. (Standard Google Analytics parameters)
'timingCategory': 'External Libs', ──> 3. Timing Category
'timingVar': 'Load Time', ───────────> 4. Timing Variable
'timingValue': 123, ─────────────────> 5. Timing Value (in ms)
'timingLabel': 'jQuery' ─────────────> 6. Timing Label
}]
Using direct ga() calls, checking proper tracking of User Timings could be done in the following manner:
describe('The Google Analytics "User Timing" 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 User Timing when loading the jQuery library', function (done) {
// 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) {
// "LastData" will be similar to the following. Due to
// the inability to know the exact value of "timingValue"
// beforehand, it it necessary to work around the data:
//
// ['send', 'timing', {
// 'timingCategory': 'External Libs',
// 'timingVar': 'Load Time',
// 'timingValue': 123,
// 'timingLabel': 'jQuery'
// }]
expect( LastData[0] ).toEqual( 'send' );
expect( LastData[1] ).toEqual( 'timing' );
expect( LastData[2].timingCategory ).toEqual( 'External Libs' );
expect( LastData[2].timingVar ).toEqual( 'Load Time' );
expect( typeof LastData[2].timingValue ).toEqual( 'number' );
expect( LastData[2].timingLabel ).toEqual( 'jQuery' );
},
// 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);
});
});
