sounds good

Hi @mattab and @tsteur
I was looking into this issue and this is what I found:

I believe the search and search_cat already trimmed here:
ActionSiteSearch

I checked the action_name, found a place where it should be trimmed, I make a PR for that.

I check the other request parameters too.

EDITED:

I checked the other parameters and they all looking good to me: either not string, or goes through some kind of validation or trimmed.
Do I miss something here?

@mattab looks indeed like event names etc are already trimmed (by looking at code, not reproducing). Do we maybe otherwise still have the link to the original conversation?

@tsteur sure, you can find it in conversation #641565

@tsteur sure, you can find it in conversation #641565

@mattab what is this number? where can I find this conversation?
thanks

Here is what user wrote:

The empty space was in the "ACTION" I have sanded throw the _paq.push("trackEvent",…) function, so I thought if the developer has any mistake in his code, then you can also trim the text.

Before:

I will ask to update our Matomo version.
Problem solved by "invisible empty space".
Maybe it is better to have a "trim" function when you receive the tracker.

Before (original report):

I have a new problem using the goals and funnels,
I build a new goal with few steps and a funnel.
Every time the user gets a specific level, the funnels goes out and it never finish the funnel.
As you can see, I'm sending in the network panel the required action.
screenshots missing but not relevant anyway

Thanks @mattab, it's useful. In this case indeed the action name was the problem. The PR will fix that.

@mattab it seems all action/event names are meanwhile already trimmed. The funnel problem was already solved in a L3 issues, so guess there is actually nothing left to do here. If the user is still having that issue, maybe he can describe the issue a bit more clearly, so it's easier for us to look for a potential reason.

closing for now and we can reopen if that should appear again.
