I am trying to check for current location in cypress. I want to check the url should have string register/ followed by numbers of any digit.

I am doing cy.url().should('match', new RegExp('.+?register\/\d+'))

URL = http://localhost:8888/wachigroup/#!/register/82
Regex = new RegExp('.+?register\/\d+')

I also tried the regex here https://regex101.com/r/1HxZq3/1/ which seems work fine.

BUT It is failing in cypress as the error below. Is there anything I am doing wrong ?

So, why do you use a constructor? Use `Regex = /.+?register\/\d+/` – Wiktor Stribiżew Aug 08 '19 at 13:19
@WiktorStribiżew Thanks, double escaped worked. Reason i tried constructor because it complains `CypressError: 'match' requires its argument be a 'RegExp'. You passed: '/.+?register/d+/'` – cjmling Aug 08 '19 at 13:38
Well, `'/.+?register/d+/'` is not a regex. `/.+?register/d+/` is. – Wiktor Stribiżew Aug 08 '19 at 13:47
