mookiept

any additional info you could share? code and/or DOM?

_godsown

@mookiept ok will share DOM

_godsown

@mookiept Error: Timed out 60000ms waiting for expect(received).toHaveURL(expected)

@mookiept ?

mookiept

if you run with headless mode off, what does it look like? How about the trace, any clues?

_godsown

trace: 'on-first-retry',

  • expect.toHaveURL with timeout 60000ms
    • waiting for locator(':root')
mookiept

what I meant was if you do something like await page.pause(); before the expect for the URL check, how does it look like? Also, when you're paused, run the following on the console and see what the result is: $$(':root')[0].baseURI

_godsown

Wow Andre I don’t really know to go about this

mookiept

ok, let's go back a bit. Do you know how to run with headless: false ?

mookiept

that's one way, you can also enable UI mode: https://playwright.dev/docs/test-ui-mode

mookiept

once you do that, you can modify your code like this (or go step by step, add a breakpoint, whatever you prefer):

// other code
await this.page.pause();
await expect(this.page).toHaveURL('TheURL');
mookiept

execution will pause just before the assertion and you can check if:

  1. The URL on the browser looks like the one you expect
  2. If you go to the browser console, type $$(':root')[0].baseURI and seen which URL you are actually getting
_godsown

Thanks

_godsown

@mookiept hello adre, after inputing this $$(':root')[0].baseURI i got the exact URL my page navigated to

mookiept

is the unexpected one?

_godsown

no expected one

mookiept

that's odd 😬 can you insert temporarily a await this.page.waitForTimeout(2000); instead of the pause part and see if it passes

mookiept

just to debug and see if things are moving too fast somehow or some other weird reason

_godsown

Thanks will give it a try

_godsown

still fails. there's this weird light that overlays on the screen before it fails

mookiept

a light?

_godsown

it's normal but why does this test keeps failing

mookiept

could be that you're checking the wrong page fixture? 100% sure that this.page represents the correct page that you want to check the URL? please try console.info(await this.page.context().pages().length); just to see if you have more than one page in the same context or something

_godsown

i've been validating several URL's on this page sir

_godsown

i'll give this a try

_godsown

Hello there, the page still refuse to navigate

mookiept

what's the output of the console command from earlier?

_godsown

hello @mookiept what i'm trying to validate is, when i click on a button it's open new page and i want to validate new page url

_godsown

The button triggers a new page entirely

Hi @_godsown , by the way, how to config with timeout 60000ms? I set timeout in waitForUrl(..., timeout = 60000) but when timeout logs it still 30000ms

mookiept

I'm aware, so if a new page fixture is triggered, you'd need to validate the URL on said page (if that's the one). Does await this.page.context().pages().length output 1 or 2 (or more)?

mookiept

btw, not sure if I missed this or hasn't been asked yet: which version of Playwright are you using? I recall some bug on toHaveURL() on version 1.26 or so.
