Selenium Java - Page Object Model

Analyze the following Selenium Java code snippet:

driver.get("https://example.com/dashboard");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Profile")).click();
String currentUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println(currentUrl);

What is the main issue with this code when testing multi-page navigation?

AUsing linkText locator is incorrect for navigation

BIt does not wait for the new page to load before getting the URL

Cdriver.getCurrentUrl() returns the previous page URL

Ddriver.findElement should be called after getCurrentUrl()

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Initial navigation
The driver opens the dashboard page.
Step 2: Click on Profile link
The click triggers navigation to the profile page.
Step 3: Immediately get current URL
Without waiting, getCurrentUrl() may capture the old URL if the new page hasn't loaded yet.
Final Answer:
It does not wait for the new page to load before getting the URL -> Option B
Quick Check:
Always wait for page load before URL check [OK]

Quick Trick: Wait for page load before checking URL [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming immediate URL reflects new page
Incorrect locator usage (linkText is valid here)
Calling getCurrentUrl() before navigation
