download files in selenium code example
Example 1: how to upload in selenium
In order to upload file using selenium we need to locate the upload button
in the DOM html. Then we do sendKeys by passing the path to the file.
First, I locate the element which takes the path of the file(Choose file button) :
WebElement input = driver.findElement(“id”);
And then I provide the path to the file using the sendKeys method :
input.sendKeys(“/path/to/file” + Keys.ENTER);
Example 2: downloading file in selenium
Selenium itself cannot verify file downloads, can click on download link
but can't go outside the browser and open the downloaded file
Other tools need to be used for that Robot and AutoIT
