In general, the fix for incomplete URL substring sanitization is to parse the URL and compare structured components (host, protocol, pathname, etc.) against explicit expectations instead of matching a long URL string with
includes. For this example, the goal is just to verify that the page ended up on the exact expected URL. The best fix is to parsecurrentUrlusing the standardURLclass, then compare itsoriginandpathnameto the known expected values, or compare against a parsedexpectedUrlobject. This preserves functionality (a boolean “did we reach the right page?”) while removing the brittle substring check.Concretely in
packages/core/examples/actionable_observe_example.ts, around lines 61–75:if (currentUrl.includes("https://www.apartments.com/..."))block with logic that:URLobject fromcurrentUrl.URLobject from the expected string.originandpathname(and optionallysearchif needed) for equality.console.logmessages exactly as they are, changing only the condition.No new imports are required because
URLis available in Node.js and in modern runtimes.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
