Extract the current url of a webview

[Aish]

Hi guys,

Just a naive question. Is there any simple way to extract the webview URL when I'm automating a hybrid IOS app? I'm using ruby! 

Thanks

If you switch to the context of the webview, you can call driver.getCurrentUrl(); in java.
(All clients should support the command https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol#/session/:sessionId/url)

Any hints in ruby? 

Right now I'm doing a session id extraction and a GET call to get the url. Is there a better way? 

Thanks! :)

I'm getting undefined method `current_url' for #<Appium::Driver:0x007fd78a2221a8> (NoMethodError)

you could try:

$driver.driver.current_url

Works! Thanks! Any reason why I need to traverse this extra level?

I'm not sure. It depends on how your code is setup. current_url is
defined on the selenium driver which is a different driver from the
appium one. For me, "current_url" works unqualified.
