Ads not delivered sometimes on client side routing

[eltonjothi]

Ads do not get displayed while routing through client side for my SPA

Added an example below:
Keep switching between the pages Ad1 and ad2..
after switching pages 2-4 times, the ads stop loading

added a sandbox example

I see the issue, It seems like dfp is returning empty ads after the third / fourth load, the problem seem to be that react-dfp is not explicitly refreshing the correlator id.

You can workaround this by running the following code when the url changes:

DFPManager.getGoogletag().then(googletag =>
      googletag.pubads().updateCorrelator()
    );

I forked your example and added the patch to index.js so you can see this working:

I'm keeping this ticket opened until a better / long-term solution is implemented and please let me know if u still have issues.

Thanks.

Thanks..!! this works and will do for now :)..
Although updateCorrelator seems to be deprecated, Looking forward for a better solution

@jaanauati any update on this? As updateCorrelator is deprecated, what should be the correct way of handling client side navigation?
