Google analytics id not added to pages

Version

2.2.0

Reproduction link

https://github.com/syonip/nuxt-ga-bug

Steps to reproduce

npx create-nuxt-app nuxt-test
cd nuxt-test
npm i @nuxtjs/google-analytics

add following to nuxt.config.js:

modules: [
    ['@nuxtjs/google-analytics', {
      id: 'UA-****'
    }]
  ]

run

npm run dev

What is expected ?

I expect to see activity in GA realtime page. I expect the html page to contain the ‘UA-****’ string somewhere but it doesn’t.

What is actually happening?

I don’t see any activity in GA realtime page when browsing to localhost:3000. Generated html contains <script async="" src="https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js" charset="utf-8"></script> but not the required call to gtag function with my id.

It may be necessary to update the documentation or enable sendHitTask in dev mode, what do you think @pi0 ?
