Hi Guys,
Any idea how to download a file in chrome headless mode?. Thanks.
Download FIle Chrome headless
Hi @pgonzalez
To download a file in Chrome headless, you can preset via the Desired Capabilities settings. The solution and an example you can find at this post:
Chrome:
Firefox:
Hi , thanks for this, it worked configuring it in settings >> Desired capabilities >> Chrome headless and set the absolute path
But I have another question, is it possible to set up a variable in the value ? instead of writing the path value “c:\user\download etc” , set a variable containing the relative path instead ?
You can customize the download folder by modifying the desired capabilities during the execution like this:
import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
Map desiredCapabilities = RunConfiguration.getDriverPreferencesProperties("WebUI")
Map prefs = desiredCapabilities.get("prefs")
prefs.put("download.default_directory", "Your location")
RunConfiguration.setWebDriverPreferencesProperty("prefs", prefs)
WebUI.openBrowser('')
Doesn’t work for me, not downloading anything

@pgonzalez
You need to add the these desired capabilities first:
{
"prefs": {
"download.default_directory": "Your download folder",
"download.directory_upgrade": true,
"download.prompt_for_download": false,
"plugins.always_open_pdf_externally": true,
"profile.default_content_settings.popups": "0",
"profile.content_settings.exceptions.automatic_downloads.*.setting": "1"
},
"args": [
"--no-sandbox",
"--disable-dev-shm-usage"
],
"useAutomationExtension": "false"
}
I pasted the code and changed “Your download folder” to the global variable
GlobalVariable.downloadFilepath = (RunConfiguration.getProjectDir() + ‘/File1/’)
println(GlobalVariable.downloadFilepath)
{
“prefs”: {
“download.default_directory”: GlobalVariable.downloadFilepath
“download.directory_upgrade”: true,
“download.prompt_for_download”: false,
“plugins.always_open_pdf_externally”: true,
“profile.default_content_settings.popups”: “0”,
“profile.content_settings.exceptions.automatic_downloads.*.setting”: “1”
},
“args”: [
“–no-sandbox”,
“–disable-dev-shm-usage”
],
“useAutomationExtension”: “false”
}
and got this:
Doesn’t let me run it. Any ideas?
To download the file clicking on the element with text as Download Data within this website you can use the following solution:

options.add_experimental_option(“excludeSwitches”, [“enable-automation”])
options.add_experimental_option(‘useAutomationExtension’, False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r’C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe’, service_args=["–log-path=./Logs/DubiousDan.log"])
print (“Headless Chrome Initialized”)
params = {‘behavior’: ‘allow’, ‘downloadPath’: r’C:\Users\Debanjan.B\Downloads’}
driver.execute_cdp_cmd(‘Page.setDownloadBehavior’, params)
driver.get(“https://www.mockaroo.com/”)
driver.execute_script(“scroll(0, 250)”);
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, “button#download”))).click()
print (“Download button clicked”)
