Google Analytics gets disabled after deployment

This topic discusses a solution to a typical issue you might experience with Google Analytics during deployment.

Affected products and versions

Issue

When deploying your code across environments, the build and deploy scripts verify the master/production/staging branch is deployed to keep Google Analytics enabled. When deploying develop (or child) branches of master to developer environments (Integration), the deploy script disables Google Analytics.

Cause

This is an intended feature to ensure that developer data and interactions are not sent to or tracked by Google Analytics.

Solution

If you want to have Google Analytics always enabled, set the deploy variable ENABLE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS = true, as described in Deploy variables in our developer documentation.
