Current behavior:
I am getting the above error in my code, visiting a webpage and checking it contains the correct URL.
This logic works on other links within the webpage.
describe('Sectors Tab', function () {
it('finds Software Development', function () {
cy.visit('http://www.afd.co.uk/')
cy.contains('Sectors')
.click({force: true})
cy.contains('Software Development')
.click({force: true})
cy.url()
.should('include', '/sectors/software-development/')
})
Desired behavior:
It should return a valid response back saying it has passed the test.
Just like it has done for my other tests:
it('finds Banking and Finance', function () {
cy.visit('http://www.afd.co.uk/')
cy.contains('Sectors')
.click({force: true})
cy.contains('Banking and Finance')
.click({force: true})
cy.url()
.should('include', '/sectors/banks-and-finance/')
})

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)
See above for information about test code.
Versions
Chrome: 76
Cypress: 3.4.1
I reported this question in GitHub already, and they closed the issue as it is not an issue with Cypress itself.
The member replied back with the following:
As the error shows, the url does not contain the
/sectors/banks-and-finance/
portion.You can see in the passing test that the page navigated to the
/sectors/banks-and-finance/
url with the (NEW URL) being logged - in the failing test case this is not logged - the URL is never changing.Cypress is displaying the correct error in this case. Why is your website not navigating? Is it not navigating because of a bug in Cypress? I would have no idea of knowing without a fully reproducible example to run.
Reference: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/5069
So on that note, I have no idea what else to try. There are no examples I can give either, as this is an easy accessible webpage and have provided the code.

Yes it does change manually. It goes to the correct page: http://www.afd.co.uk/sectors/software-development/, but it is something to do with Cypress not seeing the link then clicking on the link.

@ArnonAxelrod, Thank you so much! That is passing with flying colours - it has caused me so many issues on other pages, and this has helped :D – Kevdog777 – 2019-09-05T14:12:15.033
Is there no way I could try and get it from the tab at the top? I have tried this
cy.get('.dropdown-menu menu-level-2').find('Software Development').contains('Software Development').click()
but not even that worked. – Kevdog777 – 2019-09-05T15:53:01.750
