How to get the full URL with the current path in Capybara

Question

I'm new to writing tests in capybara and I'm having trouble getting the current URL of a page. I wrote it like this:

url = page.current_url + page.current_path 

Somehow its just returning the base URL. Help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this:

url = URI.parse(current_url) 

Answer 2

from capybara session doc:
Fully qualified URL of the current page

def current_url   driver.current_url end 

Path of the current page, without any domain information

def current_path   URI.parse(current_url).path end 

I think that what you are doing is not right
