url

Protocol binding to load the URL of the browser. If a baseUrl is specified in the config, it will be prepended to the url parameter using node's url.resolve() method. Calling browser.url('...') with the same url as last time will trigger a page reload.

Usage

browser.url(url)

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
url optional	String	the URL to navigate to

Examples

url.js

// navigate to a new URL
await browser.url('https://webdriver.io');
// receive url
console.log(await browser.getUrl()); // outputs: "https://webdriver.io"

baseUrlResolutions.js

// With a base URL of http://example.com/site, the following url parameters resolve as such:
// When providing a scheme:
// https://webdriver.io
await browser.url('https://webdriver.io');

// When not starting with a slash, the URL resolves relative to the baseUrl
// http://example.com/site/relative
await browser.url('relative');

// When starting with a slash, the URL resolves relative to the root path of the baseUrl
// http://example.com/rootRelative
await browser.url('/rootRelative');
