Inputs

​
pattern
string

Exact URL or glob pattern that the currently active page should match. To switch to different tabs, see the Switch to tab step.

​
timeout
number

Maximum number of seconds to wait. The step will fail if the page does not transition to a matching URL within the timeout. If no timeout is provided, the timeout will be set to the default page load timeout, which is configurable in the test options dialog.

​
Glob pitfalls

Be aware of the common pitfalls surrounding glob patterns. We recommend testing your pattern with an online tool to ensure the results match your expectations.

  1. **/* does not match empty strings. For example, if the current URL is https://google.com/:

    https://google.com/**/* does not match.

    https://**/* does match.

  2. * does not match / characters. For example, if the current URL is https://docs.momentic.ai/steps/wait-for-url:

    https://docs.momentic.ai/steps* does not match.

    https://docs.momentic.ai/steps/* does match.

  3. When placed within a single path segment, ** does not match recursive paths. For example, if the current URL is https://momentic.ai/schedule-demo/book:

    https://momentic.ai/schedule-demo** does not match.

    https://momentic.ai/schedule-demo/* does match.
