Verify URL in Selenium

Selenium is a web testing framework that allows you to automate browser interactions. One way to use Selenium is to verify the current URL of a webpage. This can be done using the .current_url property of the webdriver object.

driver.getCurrentUrl();

We can take the current URL and verify it with the URL we passed.

String URL = driver.getCurrentUrl();
Assert.assertEquals(URL, "http://localhost:8080/imdb/homepage" );

This is how it looks when we want to assert a URL using assertEquals.

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("http://autopract.com/selenium/alert5/");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        String URL = driver.getCurrentUrl();
        Assert.assertEquals(URL, "http://autopract.com/selenium/alert5/");

This will get the current URL it is in and asserts with the URL we provide to match it.
