Using variables in URL validation

Question

I'm trying to use a variable in the URL assertion but not having any luck.

    const LAST = page.locator('#Selector1');
    const LastResult = page.locator('#Selector2').textContent();

    await page.goto(Env.baseUrl + '/Search');

    await (LAST).click();
    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/Search#page=('LastResult')/);

I'm expecting whatever TEXT to be in LastResult to be read in .toHaveURL

Does this answer your question?

I ended up figuring it out... ` const LAST = page.locator('#Selector1'); const LastResult = page.locator('#Selector2').textContent(); await page.goto(Env.baseUrl + '/Search'); await (LAST).click(); await LastResult.then(function(responce){ expect(page).toHaveURL(`${Env.baseUrl}/Search#page=${responce}`); }); ` — DgutOrig, Mar 14 '23 at 07:02

Fixed it by adding a function in .then

const LAST = page.locator('#Selector1');
const LastResult = page.locator('#Selector2').textContent();

await page.goto(Env.baseUrl + '/Search');

await (LAST).click();
await LastResult.then(function(response) {
        expect(page).toHaveURL(`${Env.baseUrl}/Search#page=${response}`);
      });
