I'm trying to get the current url after a series of navigations in Selenium. I know there's a command called getLocation for ruby, but I can't find the syntax for Python.

Use current_url element for Python 2:

print browser.current_url

For Python 3 and later versions of selenium:

print(driver.current_url)

    or, also known as `driver.current_url` – salo.dm Jun 27 '13 at 08:29

    suppose, there is a chain of page p1->p2->p3 where p2 on the basis of credentials in p1 is redirecting to either p1 or p3. How to get the url just after clicking which I am not able to understand. selenium doesnot stop at that page and is directly giving me the url of p3. how to go for this? – proprius Jan 07 '16 at 09:54

According to this documentation (a place full of goodies:)):

driver.current_url

or, see official documentation: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/webdriver/browser_manipulation/#get-current-url

Selenium2Library has get_location():

import Selenium2Library
s = Selenium2Library.Selenium2Library()
url = s.get_location()

Another way to do it would be to inspect the url bar in chrome to find the id of the element, have your WebDriver click that element, and then send the keys you use to copy and paste using the keys common function from selenium, and then printing it out or storing it as a variable, etc.
