Puppeteer - I.getCurrentUrl() returns last URL rather than current url

What are you trying to achieve?

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

Open Github @sample --
 open browser and navigate to github.com
 • I am on page "https://github.com/awshanks"
 • I click "codecept_training_material"
 • I get current url 
https://github.com/awshanks

Provide test source code if related

Scenario('open browser and navigate to github.com', (I) => {
I.amOnPage('https://github.com/awshanks');
I.click('codecept_training_material');
I.getCurrentUrl().then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
});
});

Here is the full example of a custom helper for sake of completeness.

'use strict';

let Helper = codecept_helper;

class MyCustomHelper extends Helper {
  async getCurrentUrl() {
    const helper = this.helpers['Puppeteer'];
    return helper.page.url();
  }
}

module.exports = MyCustomHelper;

Okay, I think I’ve narrowed down the issue I was having and it seems that if a website use hash routing the page.url doesn’t update after a click that directs to another page.

The I.click works fine and goes to the page and I see the url in the verbose output.

If I go to the page with I.amOnPage(‘/#/page’) the route will change (and with show:true on I can see the correct page), but codecept doesn’t know that the page has changed and the amOnPage will fails after it retries and I always just have the baseUrl that I defined in the config. (related to https://github.com/Codeception/CodeceptJS/issues/945). Maybe a solution is for me not to use hashHistory.push(‘URL_HERE’) and instead use <Link>.
