Problem
Addresses PostHog/posthog-js-lite#244: some libraries save the OS name as
$os
(e.g.posthog-js
) and others as$os_name
(e.g.posthog-react-native
). Fixing this "properly" requires customers to roll out an update of our SDK, so @marandaneto and I propose also adding an$os_name
→$os
aliasing layer to ingestion.Changes
Building on #17393 to add special handling of
$os_name
. If$os
isn't present, it's populated based on$os_name
, along with$set.$os
and$set_once.$initial_os
.How did you test this code?
Added a unit test.
