My scenario is: I opened a webpage (it has different links) and clicked on a link randomly. Now I want to get the URL of that webpage opened.
I searched a lot and found the same answer everywhere which I tried.
driver.get(url)
driver.current_url
It every time returns me the URL of the main webpage, not that which is opened by clicking a link randomly. What I have observed is, such is happening because on clicking link new webpage opens up in a new tab and current_url returns me URL of the page that is on the first tab. Any solution to this problem?
In order to work with new tab you have to switch driver to it.
You can use Selenium methods to check current window and move to another one:
driver.window_handles
to find a list of window handles and after try to switch using following methods.
- driver.switch_to.active_element
- driver.switch_to.default_content
- driver.switch_to.window
