on button click open pick an app, but cypress considers it as opening new page url

[ghost]

Current behavior

on click of the button it calls below open pick an app in browser

In the application , they used window.location.assign = 'tel:98372638783'.

cypress considering it as new page load.

Desired behavior

Need to handle these kind of calls, instead of checking for the new page load.

Test code to reproduce

<title>URL Scheme Navigation example</title> <script type="text/javascript">

        function clickme() {
           window.location.assign = "tel:98372638783"
        }
    </script>
    <button onclick="clickme()" id="clickme" data-at="clickme" value="Click me!">Click Me!</button>
</body>

describe('testing', () => {

it('test the clictocall', { baseUrl: null }, () => {
  cy.visit('./url_scheme.html'); 
  cy.get('#clickme').click();
});

});

Similar experience with testing "tel:" links in our application. Removing target attribute does not help.

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.

Yeah, just bc no developer cared to take a look it got closed and not ever fixed. Now facing this as well...

Sorry for not seeing this earlier. I thought we had an issue open around these types of App links. They're not really currently supported right now. We'd have to add some logic to support it properly.

how can I verify that 'open pick an app' is displaying, at least for tseting?
