Welcome to GAUnit’s documentation!

https://travis-ci.org/VinceCabs/GAUnit.svg?branch=master Documentation Status

GAUnit is a Python library used for Google Analytics implementations testing.

It is designed to be used within your pipelines in various environments such as traditional websites or Single Page Applications.

GAUnit is compatible with GA4.

Features

  • Automate tests for Google Analytics implementations

  • Write tracking plans with Python dictionaries, JSON files or Google Sheets

  • Check HAR files against a tracking plan

  • Extract GA events from HAR files

  • Use Python or command line

Installation

You will need Python 3.7+.

Use pip:

pip install gaunit

Usage

Let’s say you have a new video player on your product page and you want to check if the right Google Analytics event is sent when the user clicks on “Play”:

expected_events = [
   {
      "t": "pageview",
      "dp": "my_product_page_name"
   },
   {
      "t": "event",
      "ec": "Video",
      "ea": "Play"
   }
]

Run an automated test with Python

Run a selenium test case, export har and check it against your expected tracking plan:

import gaunit

# Run your Selenium test here and export har
# (see Documentation or examples for more details)
# ...

# create your tracking plan from dict, JSON files or Google Sheets
tracking_plan = gaunit.TrackingPlan.from_events("my_test_case", expected_events)
# check GA events
r = gaunit.check_har("my_test_case", tracking_plan, har_path="my_test_case.har")
print(r.was_successful())
# True
# Congrats! both events (pageview and click) were fired.

Or manually check HAR files with command line

Alternatively to automatic tests, you can manually browse your website, export a HAR file and check it through command line:

$ ga check test_case.har my_test_case  # passed
events in tracking plan: 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GA events found: total:4 / ok:3 / missing:0
✔ OK: all expected events found

$ ga check test_case.har my_test_case  # failed
events in tracking plan: 3
================================================================================
{'t': 'event', 'ec': 'Video', 'ea': 'Play'}
                                                                     ... missing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GA events found: total:11 / ok:1 / missing:2
❌ FAILED: events missing
