Url object

Since: Nightly Builds Only

The functionality described in this section requires a nightly build of wezterm. You can obtain a nightly build by following the instructions from the Download section.

The Url object represents a parsed Url. It has the following fields:

  • scheme - the URL scheme such as "file", or "https"
  • file_path - decodes the path field and interprets it as a file path
  • username - the username portion of the URL, or an empty string if none is specified
  • password - the password portion of the URL, or nil if none is specified
  • host - the hostname portion of the URL, with IDNA decoded to UTF-8
  • path - the path portion of the URL, complete with percent encoding
  • fragment - the fragment portion of the URL
  • query - the query portion of the URL
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

local url = wezterm.url.parse 'file://myhost/some/path%20with%20spaces'
assert(url.scheme == 'file')
assert(url.file_path == '/some/path with spaces')

local url =
  wezterm.url.parse 'https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?labels=E-easy&state=open'
assert(url.scheme == 'https')
assert(url.username == '')
assert(url.password == nil)
assert(url.host == 'github.com')
assert(url.path == '/rust-lang/rust/issues')
assert(url.query == 'labels=E-easy&state=open')
