page.url() does not reflect pushstate-driven updates...

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 0.13.0
• Platform / OS version: macOS 10.13.2
• Node.js version: 8.9.4

What steps will reproduce the problem?

i’ve tried a couple of approaches:

await Promise.all([
    page.waitForNavigation(), // also w/ the { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' } option
    page.click(<anchor tag selector>)
]);

// alternately, i've tried:
// await page.click(<anchor tag selector>);
// await page.waitFor(3000);

expect(page.url()).toBe(<expected url>); // fails w/ old url - as though the page never navigated

when i use puppeteer.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 1000 }); to debug things, i’m able to observe the navigation happening so the page.click() bit seems to be working.

What is the expected result?

assertion shown above succeeds

What happens instead?

assertion shown above fails w/ old url as though the page never navigated

@busticated yes, the same root issue: Devtools protocol operates in terms of browser navigations and doesn’t take history API into account.

@aslushnikov ok but what about page.url()? that was the main point with this issue - it seems to always return whatever the original url was. is this also related to the spotty history api support?
