Every Piwik PRO-event is tracked as pageview in Omnibug #214

Closed Thorsager84 closed 2 months ago

Thorsager84 commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Hi. I'm having an issue where all events are shown as pageviews. It seems to be specific to Piwik PRO and not other analytics products

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open chrome (version 111.0.5563.65)
  2. Go to a webpage, fx https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/.
  3. Use diffirent navigational patterns, links and searches
  4. In the network-pane, take note of the Piwik event-type (action, ping, click).
  5. Every Piwik tracking event is registreret as a pageview, including pings.

Expected behavior I expect every event to be shown as expected in the omnibug-pane

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context As seen in the network-panel, Piwik PRO is sending the correct data. This issue is purely an omnibug-thing. It works in Firefox as well.

Sorry I missed this! It's been quite a busy year on my side.

It looks like this is because of #213 - for whatever reason Chromium decided to not expose the POST data that is included in the network request when the request is a PING (as opposed to GET/POST). It might be a bug or intentional, no way for me to know. Thus, we only see that a request was made and none of the parameters are included, so we fallback to default type (Page View).

I'll be closing this one since https://github.com/MisterPhilip/omnibug/issues/213 is the main issue and I'm trying to clean up the issues. Once that one is resolved this will be resolved too.
