await context.getUrl()

it('reads the url after the page changed it', async () => {
    const page = await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
    await page.execute(() => history.pushState({}, '', '/docs/api'))

    console.log(page.url) // outputs: "https://webdriver.io", the url it was navigated to
    console.log(await page.getUrl()) // outputs: "https://webdriver.io/docs/api"
    console.log(page.url) // outputs: "https://webdriver.io/docs/api"
})
