function .navigateTo() don't always work on Testcafe

Question

Some of the URLs are not loading when running testcafe. For example when I try to redirect to the localhost, it is not loading and going straight to the next step.

await t.navigateTo('localhost:8080')

Answer 1

This is because testcafe doesn't support navigateTo without a protocol, so you need to add https:// or http:// before the url. In this case when I changed to:

await t.navigateTo('http://localhost:8080')

It has worked.
