But there are more questions:
**what should i do to test this also with Chrome, IE, Safari etc.?
**what are the names of the profiles ?
thanks for your support

Hi all,

I added application/pdf as Value for browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToFile but the dialog still pops up when the test click on the download icon.

Anyone encounter this as well?

Many thanks for any solution/suggestion given.

In firefox_profile map, Add setting: pdfjs.disabled || True

Unsure what I need to do in order to get the Chrome download go to into a specific folder? I see the link above, but unsure where to place this and how to pass a folder to download into. We only use Chrome for our testing at this time. What are the arg values for the above screenshot?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

This one is as well my problem before. And it took me weeks to solve. Got them solved (with God’s help). See below Desired Capabilities applied in Chrome execution settings:

prefs contains:
profile.default_content_settings.popups | Number | 0
download.default_directory | String | C:\Shared - you can change the path to your desired location

args contains:
String | --test-type
String | --disable-extensions

Hope this helps.

My problem now is how to set the filename accdg to my preference. That, i am still working on.

It does not work for me

The following settings worked for me on

Google Chrome

66.0.3359.181

where perfs contains the following settings

Below is what my groovy script looks like


'Define Custom Path where file needs to be downloaded'
String downloadPath = 'C:\\temp'
'Wait for Some time so that file gets downloaded and Stored in user defined path'
WebUI.delay(10)
'Verifying the file is download in the User defined Path'
Assert.assertTrue(isFileDownloaded(downloadPath, '.csv'), 'Failed to download Expected document')
WebUI.closeBrowser() //Iterating a loop for number of files available in the folder to verify file name in the folder
boolean isFileDownloaded(String downloadPath, String fileName) {
    boolean flag = false
    'Creating an object for File and passing the download Path as argument'
    File dir = new File(downloadPath)
    'Creating an Array where it will store all the files from that folder'
    File[] dir_contents = dir.listFiles()
    for (int i = 0; i < dir_contents.length; i++) {
        println('File Name at 0 is : ' + dir_contents[i].getName())
        'Verifying the file name is available in the folder '
        if (dir_contents[i].getName().contains(fileName)) {
            'If the file is found then it will return a value as true'
            return flag = true
        }
    }
    
    'If the file is found then it will return a value as false'
    return flag
}

In firefox_profile map , I have the next dictionary:
with pdfjs.disable true, the file didn’t download, but if i don’t write this preference the download file popup is opened. I am using an image button

The code in the script to download the file is:

if (true) {

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Page_Servicio de Rentas Internas/img’), 2)

if (true) {

//Dar click sobre el icono pdf para descargar el archivo’

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Servicio de Rentas Internas/img’))

//Esperar para que el archivos se descargue en el path definido por el usuario

WebUI.delay(10)

}

how can i download the file without to see the popup opened?

Did you insert step to click download button??
Here is the setting should exactly look like, if you find it hard to follow above instruction.

Try using sendkey - CONTROL + S

Pranay_sapkale · August 14, 2018, 1:09pm

Hi all,

The above solution worked for me. But can anyone tell me how can i enable download popup in chrome browser.

download.prompt_for_download as true

Thanks in advanced!!

crokatalontest · September 20, 2018, 8:52am

Hi all,

I can’t solve my download problem.
I am using Katalon studio version 5.6.3 and
Chrome Version 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit).
I have same problem like @Girish Mohite
When i click on download button new window is opened.
I cant record anything with SPY WEB on that new window. That means i cant click on download button. That is why i tried to simulate CTRL + S, but since i cant record anything on that new windows i cant sendKeys to object.
So i used robot class.
When i simulate CTRL+S with robot class SAVE AS windows appears.
Is there anything i can do to to avoid SAVE AS dialog?

My Chrome settings:

Hi, @Zarashima

I had followed the step, to put the dictionary in firefox_profile. However, I still get the pop up. Is there any mistake I made?.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Chua_Au_Mei,

many thanks for your kind help that worked for me.

daxinius · February 4, 2019, 2:44pm

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help.
Both Chrome and Firefox is working like a charm.

However, I was wondering if it is possible to make download path dynamic for both Firefox and Chrome as it is required to pass the absolute path which varies based on the OS.

Have a great day.

Abhishek_Kumar_Gupta · February 11, 2019, 5:47pm

the only error is browser spelling

satya.tata · March 18, 2019, 7:56am

try this

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory
 
String downloadPath = "C:\\customDownloadFolder\\"

chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadPath)

options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs)

I was able to do this, here’s how I did it:

created a custom key word:

	 * download CSV to specified
	 */
	@Keyword
	public boolean isFileDownloaded(String downloadPath, String fileName) {

		File dir = new File(downloadPath);

		File[] dirContents = dir.listFiles();

		String lastAttempt = "";

		if (dirContents.length > 0) {

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

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

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

					dirContents[i].delete();

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

					return true;

				}

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

			if (lastAttempt != fileName) {

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

				return false;
			}
		}

		return false;
	}
}

then I invoked the keyword as follows in the test case:

WebUI.delay(2)
CustomKeywords.'com.company.katalon.cp.DataKeywords.isFileDownloaded'('C:\\Users', 'userlist.csv')```




this works in chrome with no issues. Hope this helps.
