GENERAL

How can I force a different variant for a user in a Statsig experiment using Next.js and StatsigStableID?

Date of slack thread: 7/24/24

Anonymous: looking at testing on development and staging. Implemented: https://docs.statsig.com/client/javascript-sdk/next-js and not setting UserID, but StatsigStableID. Experiment based on StatsigStableID. Problem: Trying to force my current identified “user” to another variant. I have copied over the stableId in localstorage in overrides and assigned it to the other group. Reloaded the page, but not seeing a change on my “group value”. I have even checked the logs and grabbed the stableID from there, added to overrides to assign to a different group.

Anonymous: I am using nextJS. I have also installed the https://github.com/statsig-io/statsig-sdk-debugger-chrome-extension and it keeps saying SDK not found.

Anonymous: I also have not targeting gates, allowing all users into the experiment

Tore (Statsig): Ah the chrome extension needs to be updated to support the new js sdk you are using

Tore (Statsig): Can you link your gate/experiment?

At Notion, we're continuously learning what our users value and want every team to run experiments to learn more. It’s also critical to maintain speed as a habit. Statsig's experimentation platform enables both this speed and learning for us.

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
