I found a solution.

When I used the autorefresh="true" in the configuration, it followed the
redirect just fine.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Trent,

just set the log level to debug, you will see what WebTest receives as response B. If it is an http redirect, you will see a 30x http code in the header. Otherwise you will see what the html code of B contains. If the "redirect" is performed with js, you should be able to stay stuck on B with a normal browser when deactivating js.

Are there some tricks that I can try one by one until I find one that works.

Hi Trent,

how is the redirection performed between B and C? Http redirect, meta refresh, js?

I am not sure I understand that question, but I will try to answer it anyway.

I have a page that contains a link, to page B. When browsing, I can click on
this link, it takes me to page B, but then redirects me to a Page C. I want to
verify that page C is loaded when runnign my canoo test, hopefuly by using the
verifyDocumentURL tag. The problem is that when I use canoo, the url that I get
is that of page B.

My question, is how can I get webtest to see page C?

Hi,

can you precise what you understand with "a link that does a redirect"?

I am writing a test for a link that does a redirect, but my canoo test only sees the url from the original document (the one prior to the redirect).

I have tried the <sleep> step (which is not listed in the step index) and tried to do several retries, hoping that the redirect was just taking it's time, but that doesn't work.

I tried making sure JavaScript was enabled just to make sure, but that didn't work either.

Finally I tried to check the title, rather than the url, but it too is fails.

Any ideas?
