Peculiar issue with `partial "seo/google_analytics.html"`

I have not updated Hugo in a while. Still using the older version from a few months ago I think. I hadn’t changed any source since last time. Today I go to update/build my site, and I get this error:

$  hugo serve

If I comment out the template, it builds the site, otherwise these errors.

Here is seo/google_analytics.html


{{- $pc := .Site.Config.Privacy.GoogleAnalytics -}}
{{- if not $pc.Disable -}}
{{ with .Site.GoogleAnalytics }}

<script>
{{ template "__ga_js_set_doNotTrack" $ }}
if (!doNotTrack) {
	window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)};ga.l=+new Date;
	{{- if $pc.UseSessionStorage }}
	if (window.sessionStorage) {
		var GA_SESSION_STORAGE_KEY = 'ga:clientId';
		ga('create', '{{ . }}', {
	    'storage': 'none',
	    'clientId': sessionStorage.getItem(GA_SESSION_STORAGE_KEY)
	   });
	   ga(function(tracker) {
	    sessionStorage.setItem(GA_SESSION_STORAGE_KEY, tracker.get('clientId'));
	   });
   }
	{{ else }}
	ga('create', '{{ . }}', 'auto');
	{{ end -}}
	{{ if $pc.AnonymizeIP }}ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);{{ end }}
	ga('send', 'pageview');
}
</script>
<script async src='https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js'></script>

{{ end }}
{{- end -}}

Here is the erroneous bit:

{{ template "__ga_js_set_doNotTrack" $ }}

What’s going on here? I should mention that this same config has worked for years, until today. I haven’t changed any source since my last build. I’m not sure what happened here.

I think the google analytics code has changed and is no longer the same as the template from Hugo that I’ve been using.

{{ with .Site.GoogleAnalytics }}

<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id={{.}}"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', {{.}});
</script>

{{ end }}

And config toml has

googleAnalytics = "G-your code here"

Now it builds the site again. Please correct me if I’m wrong or I’m using the template wrong of if there is an internal template I should be using?

There is.

Thanks. I’ll check that out.
