How can I track the window URL in a thread?

[danjrichards]

Hi
I'd like to enhance some information being shown by a website that sits behind an OAuth login, so I'm trying to follow the URL of the webview to know when it's finished auth + loading, but my background thread doesn't keep running.
The below only ever prints one "Thread loop" message. What am I doing wrong?

import threading
import webview
from time import sleep

def main():
    window = webview.create_window('App behind OAuth', 'https://domain.com/login/sso')
    x = threading.Thread(target=monitor_thread, args=[window], daemon=True)
    x.start()
    webview.start(private_mode=False, debug=True)


def monitor_thread(window):
    # while window.get_current_url() != 'https://domain.com/loggedIn':
    while True:
        print(f"Thread loop: {window.get_current_url()}")
        sleep(1000)
    # this is where I would inspect the page once it's loaded


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I don't know what's wrong with your example, but a better approach would be to subscribe to window.events.loaded event to track url changes. For example

def main():
    global window
    window = webview.create_window('App behind OAuth', 'https://domain.com/login/sso')
    window.events.loaded += monitor_thread
    webview.start(private_mode=False, debug=True)


def monitor_thread():
    print(window.get_current_url())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

That's perfect - much simpler and works!
Many thanks
