AssertionError trying to check dashboard URL is opened after login

I am new in selenium, I try to login and check if dashboard URL is opened, but java.lang.AssertionError appears every-time. Please help me to understand what am I doing wrong. I try to compare if current URL that is supposed to be my dashboard URL equals to expURL. here is my code:

//test  
    @Test
    public static void LoginPage(){
        PageLogin loginPage = new PageLogin(driver);

        driver.get("http://37.252.65.134:8885/#/core/login");

        loginPage.enterCredentials("Apollo", "123");

        loginPage.clickOnLogin();

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        result = PageLogin.validateURL(driver,"http://37.252.65.134:8885/#/app/dashboard");
        Assert.assertTrue(result);   
        }   

//page object 

package LoginPage;

public class PageLogin {
   WebDriver driver;

  //locators

   @FindBy(how = How.XPATH, using = "//input[contains(@type,'text')]")
   private WebElement username;

   @FindBy(how = How.XPATH, using = "//input[contains(@type,'password')]")
   private WebElement password;

   @FindBy(how = How.XPATH, using = "//button[contains(.,'login')]")
   private WebElement loginbutton;


   //Constructor
   public PageLogin(WebDriver driver){
       this.driver = driver;

         PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
   }

   public void enterCredentials(String username, String password){
       this.username.clear();
       this.username.sendKeys(username);

       this.password.clear();
       this.password.sendKeys(password);           
   }

   public void clickOnLogin(){

       this.loginbutton.click();

       driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       }

    public static boolean validateURL (WebDriver driver, String expURL) {
        boolean result = false;
        if (driver.getCurrentUrl().equalsIgnoreCase(expURL))
        {
            result = true;
            System.out.println("Login Success");                        
        }
                return result;          
    }   
}
Solution

  • The error you are seeing says it all :

    java.lang.AssertionError

    The error must have been diagnosed much before as your program is not printing Login Success as per the line :

    System.out.println("Login Success");

    The main reason is Synchronization Issue and as the condition of if() doesn't satisfies and result = false is returned.

    Solution

    The solution would be to wait for the getCurrentUrl() to contain/tobe/match http://37.252.65.134:8885/#/app/dashboard. To achieve that you can use either of the clauses from ExpectedConditions of WebDriverWait options as follows :

    Once the new url is established then you can validate the result in a for() loop as :

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.urlContains("37.252.65.134:8885"));
if (driver.getCurrentUrl().equalsIgnoreCase(expURL))
