We’ve released a bug fix to the Snowplow JavaScript Tracker, version 2.17.2. This was contributed by CesarManriqueH, huge thanks for spotting this and fixing it! :tada:

This release fixes an issue introduced in 2.13.0, which prevented dynamic page view contexts recalculating on each page ping event when using activity tracking.

This means code such as the example below, will correct update the time in the context each time a page ping event fires for a give page.

// Turn on page pings every 10 seconds
snowplow('enableActivityTracking', 10, 10);

snowplow(
  'trackPageView',
  null,
  null,
  // Gets called for page view and each subsequent page ping event
  function() {
    return [{
      schema: 'iglu:com.acme/dynamic_context/jsonschema/1-0-0',
      data: {
        dynamicValue: new Date().toString()
      }
    }];
  }
);
