Version

2.2.0

Reproduction link

https://codepen.io/d–c/pen/rNNLXRq?editors=0010

Steps to reproduce

In development mode, with the debug code the script works fine. In production, I do not get any hits.

googleAnalytics: {
   id: "UA-147623000-1"
  }

What is expected ?

Hits in production mode

What is actually happening?

No hits in production mode.

Additional comments?

I did contemplate just leaving it in dev mode enabled:true but then the console is riddled with info which I do not wish to be seen by the user. I am using Nuxt v 2.10.1.

Do I need to change the ‘Mode’ in my Nuxt.config.js? Or shallI just use the Plugin method available on the official docs? https://nuxtjs.org/faq/google-analytics/

@ricardogobbosouza When will the next version be published? I am using the top-level option so in the meantime should I just do this:

googleAnalytics: {
    id: 'UA-1234567-8',
    debug: {
      sendHitTask: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development'
    }
  }

We should not need to manually set sendHitTask to true though. It sounds like something in Nuxt 2.10+ changed with regards to determining if we are in dev or prod, so this is no longer sending hits.
