Help with setting up Google Analytics?

[dense-set]

Description

I want to set up Google Analytics to monitor the user activity for my website. I followed the Quarto documentation for this as follows:

1. Created a Google Analytics account and set up a data stream. This gave me a Measurement ID: G-xxxxxxxxx.
2. I copy pasted this ID in _quarto.yml as follows (as suggested in the documentation):

website:
  google-analytics: "G-xxxxxxxxx"

Observation: Quarto does inject the gtag code in the generated .html files. However, I am not seeing any activity (even Realtime) on my Google Analytics page even after accessing the webpage from various devices:

Upon fresh reloading of my webpage, this is what it looks like in the Network of the Dev tools:

Does something look awry? Is there a step I didn't follow?

I'm having the same issue with mine! Mine is set up as a book so I'm wondering if that's the issue?

Ok, for some reason it only worked when I used tracking-id:

google-analytics:
tracking-id: "G-XXXXXXX"

rather than just google-analytics: "G-XXXXXXXX"

hum, thanks for the feedback.
This might be a bug if:

• This does not work

website:
  google-analytics: "G-XXXXXXX"

• This does work

website:
  google-analytics:
    tracking-id: "G-XXXXXXX"

Although, I don't see anything obvious:

• quarto-cli/src/project/types/website/website-analytics.ts

  Lines 92 to 112 in 7bb03a0

  	if (siteMeta) {
  	const siteGa = siteMeta[kGoogleAnalytics];
  	if (typeof (siteGa) === "object") {
  	const siteGaMeta = siteGa as Metadata;
  	// Merge the site and page options and then layer over defaults
  	const trackingId = siteGaMeta[kTrackingId] as string;
  	const storage = siteGaMeta[kStorage] as string;
  	const anonymizedIp = siteGaMeta[kAnonymizeIp] as boolean;
  	const version = siteGaMeta[kVersion] as number;
  	gaConfig = googleAnalyticsConfig(
  	project,
  	trackingId,
  	storage,
  	anonymizedIp,
  	version,
  	);
  	} else if (siteGa && typeof (siteGa) === "string") {
  	gaConfig = googleAnalyticsConfig(project, siteGa as string);
  	}
  	}

(That's the same code used for Book project)
