Unable to get the value of the Variable

Question

Hi I have two lines of code which is

url1 = print(driver.current_url)

web url : "https://www.journal-officiel.gouv.fr/balo/recherche/resultats?parutionDateStart=2021-05-05&parutionDateEnd=2021-05-05&_token=9OFJ6Ry1SbhZ8bkxPSNx1Z8xtlSeyMV1-xpo3S7D-ms"

I am doing this as the link is dynamic and varies with every date.

In this in the jupiter ide it shows the current url which is there and get printed in the bottom , but when i call the variable url1 or print url1 it not giving any value.How can i get the url while calling url1 here

Answer 1

print(driver.current_url) 

Here print function does two things,

• First, It prints driver.current_url to the console.
• Second it will return None(If a function does not return anything python will implicitly return None).

So the value of url1 after url1 = print(driver.current_url) statement will be will be None.

Looks like what you need is ,

url1 = driver.current_url
print(url1)
