package main

import (
	"github.com/jpillora/go-ogle-analytics"
	"log"
	"os"
)

var client *ga.Client
var trackingID string

func initClient() {
	trackingID = os.Getenv("GA_TRACKING_ID")
	var err error
	client, err = ga.NewClient(trackingID)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}
func sendReport(event eventStruct) {
	statsEvent := ga.NewEvent(event.Category, event.Action)
	if event.Label != "" {
		statsEvent.Label(event.Label)
	}
	err := client.Send(statsEvent)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	log.Printf("event fired!!")
}

tracking id is true and there is no any error

I have the same behavior, do you have any solution?

I moved to a nodejs service... the universal-analytics npm package is working well.

Found the issue if anyone feels like fixing it in the repo.

Looking at Google Analytics Measurement Protocol Reference it states that

user_agent_string – Is a formatted user agent string that is used to compute the following dimensions: browser, platform, and mobile capabilities.
If this value is not set, the data above will not be computed.

So adding a valid user agent to the POST request took care of the issue for me.

Thanks @zachwreed. That explains why it won't compute the browser properties but it should still register the event regardless. But you're right once a user agent is set the event registered immediately for me. For those facing the problem set the agent with client.UserAgentOverride().

package main

import "github.com/jpillora/go-ogle-analytics"

func main() {
	client, err := ga.NewClient("UA-XXXXXXXX-Y")
        client.UserAgentOverride("your user agent string")

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	err = client.Send(ga.NewEvent("Foo", "Bar").Label("Bazz"))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	println("Event fired!")
}
