if (dirContents.length > 0) {

	for (int i = 0; i < dirContents.length; i++) {

		if (dirContents[i].getName().matches(fileName)) {

			// File has been found, it can now be deleted:

			dirContents[i].delete();

			KeywordUtil.markPassed('File exist in ' + downloadPath + ' and was deleted')

			return true;

		}

		lastAttempt = dirContents[i].getName().matches(fileName);
	}

	if (lastAttempt != fileName) {

		KeywordUtil.markFailed('File does not exist in ' + downloadPath)

		return false;
	}
}

return false;

```

}

After I run I got this error message:  
keywordspecific.keyword.isFileDownloaded:97

from everything i see it simply means the file you are looking for does not exist (yet) in the given directory  
you can run the steps manually and check that said file does indeed appear in the directory  
if that is the case, then you can run that keyword to check for the file you manually checked before to verify you are using the keyword(isFileDownloaded) correctly, i haven’t used it so i don’t know if it needs the file extension too or not(i would assume it does)  
finally, if all that passes you can assume that you are checking the download directory before the file has a chance to actually be downloaded, meaning the file is not in said directory yet, and then you’ll need a delay

I set the delay, the file is downloaded but I got the same error. But I want to ask you something the download file should be the path from my PC or from Chrome download?

it should be the downloadpath where katalon downloads a file to, the webdriver katalon starts does not copy the settings from, for example, your chrome installation, chances are high the file will end up in “/downloads”, but to make sure you can let a testcase open a browser(WebUI.openBrowser) and then add a step that simply waits, like WebUI.delay(120), (or you can simply stop the testcase before it closes the browser) in the time the test is waiting you can use the browser that katalon opened to manually do all the steps to see where the file ends up
