使用Java中的Selenium WebDriver找到的重定向URL不是最终页面

Question

i have a html page like below :

..

Login
with myPass

..

Using selenium webdriver in Java, I tried the below:

 WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(); String url = "http://www.pic.net.sh/index.html"; // And now use this to visit Google driver.get(url); //driver.click("xpath=//a[contains(@href,'listDetails.do') //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='quickActionHolderInfo loginAccountPass']/a[contains(text(), 'Login')]")).click(); driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='span12 quickActionHolder']/a[@href='/organisation/pass/login']")).click(); 

BUT this page will redirect to another page and subsequent and when I tried the below to find the final redirected url

System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getCurrentUrl());

It will show the url of the immediate page after clicking the link, but NOT the final one.

Have I missed out anything or is my code insufficient to deal with re-direction of the page after a delay in that re-direction? I have qneuired about it here, but to no avail and if anyone can point me to the similar issue, I will be most grateful.

Answer 1

It usually happens due to late call to new URL. There are various ways to handle this:

• Try waiting for some element on final page, then do getCurrentUrl().
• Another way is to apply while loop till the current URL changes.

I use following code for my tests:

int i=0;
do{
    try {
    Thread.sleep(200);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    }
    i++;
} while(driver.getCurrentUrl().equals("http://www.pic.net.sh/index.html")&&i<10);

Either way should work.
