Help us help you! Put down a short code snippet that illustrates your bug and
that we can run and debug locally. For example:

await this.page.waitForNavigation({
			url: 'https://localhost:4200/group-admin/settings#moderators',
			timeout: 10000,
			waitUntil: 'networkidle'
		});

Describe the bug

Our application has a lot of page redirections and I made this method for the page to end for navigation on that page with no network calls in the background. It fails to respond even after the page navigation and no network calls in the background.

waitForNavigation waits for the next navigation and if you are already on the target page, it hangs forever. You could check for the url to be current and only wait for navigation if it isn't.

Thank you. I will implement that

Check the above screenshot. As waiting for navigation times out all the time. I have used a try-catch and print the URL. The URL is the same but method unable to detect it.

@vrknetha would you mind sharing a script that we can use to reproduce it locally?

[vrknetha]

I will share the repo.

(looks like this has stalled - closing for now. Summer cleanup!)

We had the same problem and it was caused by trailing slashes in the urls :
Current page was https://google.com and we tried to do page.goto('https://google.com/') (note the slash at the end of the latter)
Hope it helps
