I have a button on a page that opens a popup (new tab). I can get this popup with a listener:

page.on('popup', async popup => {
       console.log('popup => ' + await popup.url());
    })

The problem is that the website opens it with an "about:blank" link, and later loads an URL.

I tried to wait a few seconds before get the url but it keeps showing a blank string.

page.on('popup', async popup => {
       await page.waitForTimeout(10000);
       console.log('popup => ' + await popup.url());
    })

The main page after opens the popup, changes it URL. So im not able, yet, to get this URL sent to the popup.

Any idea? Thanks!

try to set the url on a const before console.logging

page.on('popup', async popup => {
     await page.waitForTimeout(10000);
     const url = await popup.url()
     console.log('popup => ' + url);
})

You can wait for navigation of the popup before printing out its url:

page.on('popup', async popup => {
  await popup.waitForNavigation();
  console.log('popup => ' + await popup.url());
})
