Selenium Python: Get the URL of the active tab.

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm learning testing with Selenium. I want to get the url of the current active tab but no results.

I wrote the following code:

```
links = my_span.find_elements_by_tag_name('a')
# User clicks on the first link
links[0].click() # link opens in a new tab
print(self.browser.current_url)
```
it prints the url of the first tab, and never gets the url of the active tab.

Any idea how can I get the URL of active tab in selenium/django?

Thank you!

Hello @wet water ))) Thank you for your reply :)

It's more about selenium. Sometimes things get weird and confusing.

I could solve it like this:

```
link[0].click()
sleep(10) # wait till the tabs are loaded
self.assertEqual(len(self.browser.window_handles), 2)
self.browser.switch_to.window(self.browser.window_handles[1]) # switch to new tab
# Make sure its url of google.
self.assertEqual(self.browser.current_url, 'https://www.google.com/')

```
