Can't store downloaded files in their concerning folders
I just added the the rename of the file to move it. So it'll work just as you have it, but then once it downloads the file, will move it to the correct path:
os.rename(desk_location + '\\' + filename, file_location)
Full Code:
import os
import time
from selenium import webdriver
link ='https://www.online-convert.com/file-format/doc'
dirf = os.path.expanduser('~')
desk_location = dirf + r'\Desktop\file_folder'
if not os.path.exists(desk_location):
os.mkdir(desk_location)
def download_files():
driver.get(link)
for item in driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("a[href$='.doc']")[:2]:
filename = item.get_attribute("href").split("/")[-1]
#creating new folder in accordance with filename to store the downloaded file in thier concerning folder
folder_name = item.get_attribute("href").split("/")[-1].split(".")[0]
#set the new location of the folders to be created
new_location = os.path.join(desk_location,folder_name)
if not os.path.exists(new_location):
os.mkdir(new_location)
#set the location of the folders the downloaded files will be within
file_location = os.path.join(new_location,filename)
item.click()
time_to_wait = 10
time_counter = 0
try:
while not os.path.exists(file_location):
time.sleep(1)
time_counter += 1
if time_counter > time_to_wait:break
os.rename(desk_location + '\\' + filename, file_location)
except Exception:pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {'download.default_directory' : desk_location,
'profile.default_content_setting_values.automatic_downloads': 1
}
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chromeOptions)
download_files()
