Download file at custom path using Selenium WebDriver
Hope it will be help for you!!
var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", "Your_Path");
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("intl.accept_languages", "nl");
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");
var driver = new ChromeDriver("Driver_Path", chromeOptions);
You need to hack a bit so you can download the file at a specified location. Option 1: Use a third-party tool like AutoIt which can interact with the Windows pop-up and you can specify the path using it. Option 2: Write a custom method that can do the download using the API.
var downloadDocLink = webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("{}")).GetAttribute("onclick");
string toBeSearched = "{string}"; //this string needs to be trimmed from the url
string downloadUrl = downloadDocLink.Substring(downloadDocLink.IndexOf(toBeSearched) + toBeSearched.Length);
var data = webDriver.DownloadByApiCall(downloadUrl);
var fileName = webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("{Xpath}")).Text;
//Save result of report api call to file
var val = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["OutputPath"];
var path = Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(val);
var filePath = Path.Combine(path, fileName);
var dir = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
Console.WriteLine($"Saving file with {data.Length} bytes to {path}.");
if (!Directory.Exists(dir))
Directory.CreateDirectory(dir);
File.WriteAllBytes(filePath, data);
//Ensure file was downloaded
var exists = webDriver.FileExistsSpinWait(filePath);
Assert.IsTrue(exists, $"The downloaded report is not present in the download folder: \n{filePath}");
//Remove file and ensure deleted
File.Delete(filePath);
Assert.IsFalse(File.Exists(filePath));
Helper method to download by API call
public static byte[] DownloadByApiCall(this IWebDriver driver, string apiCall)
{
var uri = new Uri(driver.Url);
var path = $"{url}/{apiCall}";
byte[] data = null;
try
{
var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(path);
webRequest.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
foreach (var cookie in driver.Manage().Cookies.AllCookies)
webRequest.CookieContainer.Add(new System.Net.Cookie(cookie.Name, cookie.Value, cookie.Path, string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(cookie.Domain) ? uri.Host : cookie.Domain));
var webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
var ms = new MemoryStream();
var responseStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();
responseStream.CopyTo(ms);
data = ms.ToArray();
responseStream.Close();
webResponse.Close();
}
catch (WebException webex)
{
var errResp = webex.Response;
using (var respStream = errResp.GetResponseStream())
{
var reader = new StreamReader(respStream);
Assert.Fail($"Error getting file from the server({webex.Status} - {webex.Message}): {reader.ReadToEnd()}.");
}
}
return data;
}
This works for me, it asserts if the download was successful and it's rerunnable as well as we're deleting the file in the end. Hope this helps!
