Unable to Set Chrome Prefs in Katalon Studio Version 7.5.1

Product Forums Katalon Studio

I have a script which downloads files from Chrome to a specific directory. Because the specific location changes throughout the script, I would set my Chrome preferences programmatically.

def chromePrefs = [
	('profile.default_content_settings.popups') : '0',
	('download.default_directory') : currentDownloadDirectoryString,
	('download.prompt_for_download') : 'false'
]
		
RunConfiguration.setWebDriverPreferencesProperty('prefs', chromePrefs)

In Katalon Studio version 7.4.3, this works fine and the files are downloaded to the correct directory.

But, in version 7.5.1, the files were downloaded to the system default directory, e.g. C:\Users\sstream\Downloads.

Does anyone know what would cause this?
I notice the changelog mentions Chrome 83 is now supported. Did this version change the key for the default download directory preference?

Hi @sstream,
Sorry for this issue. We will fix it in upcoming releases.

Hi. Indeed, for me my tests also fail. I’ve used the same setup but through the desired capabilities settings.
