Find current URL #3

Closed LukasWallrich closed 11 months ago

LukasWallrich commented 1 year ago

When selenider gets redirected (using chromote), I currently struggle to figure out where it is.

I noticed that session objects have a current_url property - but it remains empty in my case (even though the navigation succeeded, as shown by the screenshot). Is that a bug? Or can I find it anywhere else?

hi <- get_session()
open_url("https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/3m5y9", session = hi)
hi$current_url
# NULL

I now dug deeper into chromote and realised that they don't expose the URL as easily as rSelenium would. I suggested that they might want to change that - https://github.com/rstudio/chromote/issues/128 - but at the moment, it seems possible to get the URL by running get_session()$driver$Runtime$evaluate("window.location.href")$result$value - so maybe that could be used to populate current_url?

I actually made this function as a helper for one of my tests, but never exported it! It should be exported in the dev version now.
