TypeError: this.settings.productCollectionPath.replace is not a function at r.getProductCollectionPath

Question

We are trying to generate “s.products” Adobe Analytics variable using AA Product String Builder via Launch. Unfortunately I am getting below errors on console.

I am quoting necessary information below:

1. Rule structure on launch

2. Action configuration for AA Product String Builder.

3. DataLayer structure

4. ‘Product collection path’ value passed by “eComm - productString” data elememt.

Could you please help me on this?

Hi @digitaldarpan1 ,

I am the author and maintainer of the Data Layer Manager and AA Product String Builder extensions. You are very close to seeing this configuration working. There are just two things that I need you to verify.

1). Please verify that the data element that is providing "Data Layer Root" is a DLM Context Aware data element and is configured like this (note that the Data Layer Path field is left empty):

2) The Product Collection Path should be set to the string "product" as below:

Everything else about your configuration looks just fine. Please reply to let me know if this solved your issue.

Unfortunately, your setup isn't going to work.

AA Product String Builder expects your Root Data Object to look like this:

{
  products: [
    {
      id: '...',
      name: '...',
      price: ...,
      quantity: ...
    },
    {
      id: '...',
      name: '...',
      price: ...,
      quantity: ...
    },
    ...
  ]
}

In that case, the Product Collection Path would be set to the static string "products".

One quick solution is to use a Custom Code data element to nest your products array inside a key-value object, e.g.

return {
  products: _satellite.getVar("eComm - productString");
};

Then use that Custom Code data element as your Root Data Object in the AA Product String Builder, and "products" as your Product Collection Path.
