Here is a solution for the testcafe v0.16.x. You can use ClientFunction to get page's url:

import { ClientFunction, t } from 'testcafe';

fixture `check url`
    .page `http://example.com`;

test('check url', async t => {
    const getLocation = ClientFunction(() => document.location.href);

    await t.expect(getLocation()).contains('example.com');
});

I tried this before, and it still return the original URL, not the redirect one – Knovour Jul 03 '17 at 09:09
do you mean the `expect` assertion is failed? Could you please provide a simple example with the page to reproduce the problem? – Alexander Moskovkin Jul 03 '17 at 09:57

I just found out it works pretty well after upgrade the testcafe, sorry for bothering – Knovour Jul 03 '17 at 10:29
