I'm using Sentry.io to detect javascript errors on my site.

I've noticed a bunch of Javascript errors, that originate from google_analytics.js which comes from this module:

"Can't find variable: gtag"

"gtag is not defined"

Is there any known fixes for this? My guess it's a race-condition.

Well, I have no idea why this is happening, but this is a symptom-fix patch. It doesnt actually fix the illness.

This patch checks if gtag() exists, and if it does, it doesnt set any eventlisteners in the javascript.

For those who encounter this issue... in my case it was simply because of the GDPR/Cookie acceptance.
By refusing or denying tracking, Google Analytics JS is not loaded.

With the sunset of legacy google analytics, the 8.x-3.x module is now unsupported. If this is still an issue with the 4.x version, please file a new issue in the queue.
