[Question] Allow Playwright to retrieve url from non existing pages.

Hello, I made a similar question a month ago. Currently, I am testing sign-in functionality. Within the sign-in URL, there is a redirect URL that has functionality that when the user login successfully user gets redirected to the “redirect” URL with code, which later is used for other purposes. A redirect URL is not always an existing page, it is just a URL with code that has no content on it. Sometimes redirect URL does not even exist or it is just localhost with specific code on the end of the URL. With Playwright I am trying to sign in a user and then retrieve a redirect URL but somehow on the Chrome browser I only get this error: chrome-error://chromewebdata/ But when I run this same test with the headless feature turned off this is what I see: Picture: https://imgur.com/a/wl0XcJO Previous issue: #995 I assume that Chrome could not connect to the non-existing page but how could I get only the URL from that non-existing page? Is it even possible?

Hi Yury, I tried something page.waitingForUrl() but incorrect way as per your explanation Ill check it tomorrow. We are currently using HtmlUnit and urls are loaded directly to List <String> but trying to move to playwright.

Many thanks for explanation Best regards Juraj Valkovic

From what you describe it the page is getting redirected to url containing auth code in which case you should be able to wait for the request https://playwright.dev/java/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-request, something like this:

Request request = page.waitForRequest("**/*callback?code=*", () -> {
    page.click(SUBMIT_BUTTON);
});
System.out.println(request.failure());

All the requests in the maps that you pointed at are dispatched to page.onRequest/onResponse etc listeners which is why I suggested using them before. The headers are available on the response objects:

page.onResponse(r -> {
  System.out.println(r.headerValue("location"));
});

Hope that helps.

We managed to fix this issue with your solution. As you said before we established a listener on request waitForRequest . After that only what it did is to print out request.url() and we got redirected URL with an authentication code.

Thank you for your assistance Yuri, Best regards, Ivan Rener
