Loading JS from an external file

Question

Hi,

for specific reasons I can't modify the source code of the aspx page. I can only add a link to an external JS file. After trying to to that, in IE i see the following traces:

Failed to send telemetry:
{"itemsRecieved":1,"itemsAccepted":1,"errors":[]}

So the tracking code kicks in, but for some reason, loading a source code from external JS file prevents it from sending events.

Any ideas about the correct way to load AppInsight JS from the file? 

Thanks,

Andrei

<script type="text/javascript" src="/siteassets/insightanalytics.js"></script>

the content of the file

var appInsights=window.appInsights||function(config){ function s(config){t[config]=function(){var i=arguments;t.queue.push(function(){t[config].apply(t,i)})}}var t={config:config},r=document,f=window,e="script",o=r.createElement(e),i,u;for(o.src=config.url||"//az416426.vo.msecnd.net/scripts/a/ai.0.js",r.getElementsByTagName(e)[0].parentNode.appendChild(o),t.cookie=r.cookie,t.queue=[],i=["Event","Exception","Metric","PageView","Trace"];i.length;)s("track"+i.pop());return config.disableExceptionTracking||(i="onerror",s("_"+i),u=f[i],f[i]=function(config,r,f,e,o){var s=u&&u(config,r,f,e,o);return s!==!0&&t["_"+i](config,r,f,e,o),s}),t
    }({
        instrumentationKey:"SKIPED"
    });
    
window.appInsights = appInsights;
// executed when SP load completes
SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilEventNotified(function () {
     window.appInsights.trackPageView();
}, "sp.bodyloaded");

BTW, after the page is loaded, if I open IE Dev tools, and try to manually trigger 

window.appInsights.trackPageView();

I see the same message. Basically 

window.appInsights

is defined correctly. I can imagine it has something to do with the telemetry proxy, and perhaps the order of loading.

Try to insert your external js file as like this ....It worked for me...

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/siteassets/Insightanalytics.js")%>"></script>

If it works fine don't forget to mark it has answer.....
