assertPageAddress() fails when passing an link as parameter

[yehee]

Hi,

I encountered an issue with testing the current URL followed by clicking an element. I have no problem testing any internal path (e.g I should be on "/" or I am on "/"). However, the test with the line:

Then I should be on "https://www.example.ca"

it gives me an error that says

Current page is "/", but "" expected. (Behat\Mink\Exception\ExpectationException)

I created AfterStep method that prints out the current URL, and I could see that the link is not broken and is redirecting the page to the right URL as it is printing out the address I am expecting to see.

Edit: cleanUrl method is being called in addressEquals, and the method returns / when https://www.example.ca is passed as a parameter which makes sense why the test is failing. Is there a way to get away from this issue other than implementing a custom method?

Edit: Here is my work around this issue:

  /**
  * @Then current url is :page
  */
  public function currentUrlIs($page)
  {
    $this->addressEquals($this->locatePath($page));
  }
  
  /**
  * @return true if the given address matches with the current url
  *         false, otherwise
  */
  private function addressEquals($page)
  {
    $expected = $page;
    $actual = $this->getSession()->getCurrentUrl();
    $this
      ->assert(strpos($actual,$expected) !== false, sprintf('Current page is "%s", but "%s" expected.', $actual, $expected));
  }
  
  /**
  * @throw Exception when the condition is not met
  */
  private function assert($condition, $message) {
    if ($condition) {
      return;
    }
    throw new \Exception($message);
  }

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)
