Is it possible to add relative path in Desired Capabilities?
Hi @discover.selenium.
No, it’s not possible to put there a relative path. I noticed this shortcoming when I was trying the same for my use case: A custom download path.
A workaround I found is using Test Listeners somewhere on this community is to set desired capabilities during run-time just before the browser is actually opened.
An example of my code that you should be able to adjust to your needs below (I trimmed it a bit down as it’s contains more, but isn’t valuable for your specific question). Nutshell: I have a global variable (profile) value called “downloadPath” which leads to a folder within my project repo. So it will run locally and in any build pipeline. These settings below are for chrome.
Hope this helps!
