Identifying Chrome download box

Hi Zak,

This is more advanced solution, but you can change your Chrome preferences to download files without a prompt (it means automatically). For this purposes, I use following method instead of WebUI.openBrowser(String page)

public class CustomChromeDriver {

public static void createChromeWebDriverCustomDownload(String downloadPath) {
	String projDir = RunConfiguration.getProjectDir()
		
        // add Chrome preferences
	HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>()
	chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadPath)
	chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false)
		
        // specify path to ChromeDriver
	System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", projDir + "\\Files\\chromedriver.exe")
	ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()
	options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs)

        // create web driver
	WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options)
	
        // use your driver instead of default one
	DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver)
	}
}

You can also specify your own download path in method parameter.

Sample usage in test case:

CustomChromeDriver.createChromeWebDriverCustomDownload("C:\\test")

WebUI.navigateToUrl("www.google.com")

// the rest of your test
