ga-beacon.appspot.com is down #81

Open bgobena opened 2 years ago

bgobena commented 2 years ago

ga-beacon.appspot.com is down and shows the following error:

Error: Server Error The server encountered an error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds.

Our Google Analytics stopped recording the page view starting August 18, meaning ga-beacon.appspot.com was down since then.

The following is placed in our read me file:

Did you all have this up and running on your own hosted Google Cloud app? I just started this process and the next day saw all your guys' posts talking about it's down. :/

What is everyone doing then for tracking analytics on ebay items and email?

I believe this is possibly due to a deprecated import in the ga-beacon.go file at line 17:

"google.golang.org/appengine/delay"

I created a stackoverflow issue about it here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72262420/could-not-import-google-golang-org-appengine-delay

I'll chime in with a solution if I get it. I think if that import gets straightened out, this will work again.

Guys, I got this to work just now. Woot!

And, I did it without having to use their ga-beacon.appspot.com.

Here's what I did (in a nutshell)...

  1. Knowing nothing about go language, I had to follow the quickstart guide here first to see how to deploy an app to google: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go/create-app
  2. Then, I cloned the ga-beacon repo into my Windows PC.
  3. Then I got stuck with the issue mentioned in my prior post: "google.golang.org/appengine/delay" but I solved that with gcloud components install app-engine-go
  4. After, I got the app to deploy to google cloud by running gcloud app deploy
  5. Finally, was able to get a pixel into two of my ebay listings and presto, I saw views hitting my listings within 5 minutes!

Don't believe that this doesn't work. IT DOES!
