How to assert the current URL? - selenium

Question

I'm unittesting my Yii application with PHPUnit and Selenium-server.
Code:
class StartSurveyRedirectTest extends WebTestCase
{
public $fixtures=array(
'sessions'=>'SurveySession',
'surveys' => 'Survey',
);
public function testActive() {
$survey = $this->surveys('survey_active');
$user_id = 1;
$imid = 'nl1234-9876';
$this->open('veldwerk/survey/redirect?survey_id=' . $survey->survey_id .
'&user_id=' . $user_id .
'&imid=' . $imid .
'&' . $survey->security_parameter_name . '=' . $survey->getSecurityParameterValue()
);
//assert if redirected
$this->assertNotEquals($this->url(),TEST_BASE_URL .
'veldwerk/survey/redirect?survey_id=' . $survey->survey_id .
'&user_id=' . $user_id .
'&imid=' . $imid .
'&' . $survey->security_parameter_name . '=' . $survey->getSecurityParameterValue()
);
}
}
The result when I start the test:
There was 1 error:
1) StartSurveyRedirectTest::testActive
Method url not defined.
D:\workspace\Pi\framework\test\CWebTestCase.php:63
D:\workspace\Pi\protected\tests\functional\StartSurveyRedirectTest.php:27
D:\workspace\Pi\protected\tests\functional\StartSurveyRedirectTest.php:27
Caused by
BadMethodCallException: Method url not defined.
D:\workspace\Pi\framework\test\CWebTestCase.php:63
D:\workspace\Pi\protected\tests\functional\StartSurveyRedirectTest.php:27
D:\workspace\Pi\protected\tests\functional\StartSurveyRedirectTest.php:27
So what I really want to test is if the user has been redirected. I thought the easiest way was to check the URL but it turns out it doesn't work? While in the selenium docs and PHPUnit docs says it can..
Does the Yii framework does not support this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Instead of using url as a method, try it as a property:
$this->url
I'm at work now and am able to check this out. I think the proper code for PHPUnit with Selenium is:
$driver->getCurrentPageUrl();
So it is a method from the driver instance.

Answer 2

Turns out PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase_Driver is an ancestor class of WebTestCase the Yii class I extend in my test.
PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase_Driver implements the method getLocation() which holds the current browser url. This allows me to use $this->getLocation()
SeleniumTestCase_Driver class reference
The result of my code:
//assert if redirected
$this->assertNotEquals($this->getLocation(),TEST_BASE_URL .
'veldwerk/survey/redirect?survey_id=' . $survey->survey_id .
'&user_id=' . $user_id .
'&imid=' . $imid .
'&' . $survey->security_parameter_name . '=' . $survey->getSecurityParameterValue()
);
