How to use regex with Page.WaitForURL()

[AkashKarnatak]

The nodejs equivalent of Page.WaitForURL() allows one to pass regex objects. Is there a way to achieve similar functionality in golang?

Maybe something like this.

if r, err := regexp.Compile(".*myaccount.google.com.*"); err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
page.WaitForURL(r)

could you please try this?

r, err := regexp.Compile(".*myaccount.google.com.*")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
page.WaitForNavigation(playwright.PageWaitForNavigationOptions{URL: r})

For some strange reason it isn't working. It times out,

2022/10/12 15:59:22 could not reach myaccount.google.com: Timeout 30000.00ms exceeded.
exit status 1

This is what I tried.

  r, err := regexp.Compile(".*myaccount.google.com.*")
  if err != nil {
    return "unable to compile regex: %v", err
  }
  if _, err := page.WaitForNavigation(playwright.PageWaitForNavigationOptions{URL: r});
    err != nil {
    return "could not reach myaccount.google.com: %v", err
  }

The URL that web browser navigates to is https://myaccount.google.com/?pli=1.

  r, err := regexp.Compile(".*myaccount.google.com.*")
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
  fmt.Println(r.MatchString("https://myaccount.google.com/?pli=sd"))

The above code prints true. Yet the regex is timing out.

Btw I also tried,

  if err := page.WaitForURL("myaccount.google.com"); err != nil {
    handlef("could not reach myaccount.google.com: %v", err)
  }

which simply worked. But I am unable to figure out why regex isn't working
