How to assert URL in anchor tag Empty How to assert URL in anchor tag

Wed Jul 06, 2016 4:52 pm
Hi, 
I'm a noob to both Selenium & Ruby and am stuck on how to do the following (or even if its possible)

I'm testing multiple pages, built from the same template, on this template, is a "configure" button and based on which page i'm on the configure button has different URL assigned to it.


now, I know I can click on the button, get the current URL and assert this against what it should be, however, i'm just writing a quick smoke test, so all i really want to do is confirm that the URL for the configure page is correct for the page i'm on.

Is there any way in webdriver/ruby to do an assert against:
Code:
<a href="MYURL">

How to assert URL in anchor tag Empty Re: How to assert URL in anchor tag

Hi Peter,

You can use the method "attribute" to get the href value of the anchor tag  web element. Later you can assert the value.

Assume e is the anchor tag web element,

actualvalue=e.attribute("href");

Assertions.assert(actualvalue,expected value);

(bear with mistakes if any, as i am not familiar with ruby language)

Thanks,
Murthi. S
