SDK Version

6.1.0

Current Behavior

When having pages restored from B/f Cache, the BatchEventProcessor stops sending events to the endpoints. This causes a gap in data.

Expected Behavior

Events should continue being send.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create an application with a simple setup as described in Optimizely Docs
2. Send events permanently and monitor the events endpoint
3. Use Chromes Application > Back/forward cache > Test b/f cache button to simulate page restore
4. Verify that events are not send anymore

testingClient.onReady().then(() => {

Workaround/Solution

Very suboptimal hack to set the state to running (using private properties and is super error prone). Also it seems that this solution does not work in all cases because numbers are still lower than without B/f cache enabled.

window.addEventListener('pageshow', (event) => {
  if (event.persisted) {
    client.eventProcessor.state = 2;
  }
});
