t.navigateTo Method

Navigates to the specified URL. Can be chained with other TestController methods.

t.navigateTo(url) → this | Promise<any>

Parameter	Type	Description
`url`	String	The URL to navigate to. Absolute or relative to the current page.

The following example shows how to use the t.navigateTo action.

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://www.example.com/`;

test('Navigate to the main page', async t => {
    await t
        .click('#submit-button')
        .navigateTo('http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe');
});

You can use the file:// scheme or relative paths to navigate to a webpage in a local directory. Relative file paths are resolved from the current page, rather than the test file.

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://www.example.com/`;

test('Navigate to local pages', async t => {
    await t
        .navigateTo('file:///user/my-website/index.html')
        .navigateTo('../my-project/index.html');
});

TestCafe waits for the server to respond after a redirect occurs. The test resumes if the server does not respond within 15 seconds.
