I want to detect URL is redirected to the login page when clicking something that needs to log in first.

Is there any way to achieve that?

Here is a solution for the testcafe v0.16.x. You can use ClientFunction to get page's url:

import { ClientFunction, t } from 'testcafe';

fixture `check url`
    .page `http://example.com`;

test('check url', async t => {
    const getLocation = ClientFunction(() => document.location.href);

    await t.expect(getLocation()).contains('example.com');
});
