I had one more session with Copilot. I enjoyed it. Let me share it.
I want to download a PDF from web using Katalon Studio. Could you tell me how to ?
Copilot
Sure! Here’s a step-by-step guide to download a PDF from the web using Katalon Studio:
- Open Katalon Studio and create a new project or open an existing one.
- Create a new Test Case or open an existing one where you want to add the download functionality.
- Add a WebUI Open Browser keyword to open the browser1. You can specify the URL of the webpage that contains the PDF2.
- Locate the Download Button: Use the WebUI Find Element keyword to locate the download button or link on the webpage3.
- Click the Download Button: Use the WebUI Click keyword to click on the download button or link4.
- Set Desired Capabilities: Configure the browser settings to automatically download files to a specific directory without prompting5. For example, for Chrome, you can use the following settings:
java
Copy
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", "C:/path/to/download/directory");
chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false);
- Download the File: Use the WebUI Send Keys keyword to simulate pressing
Ctrl + S to save the file6. Alternatively, you can use the WebUI Handle Windows Dialog keyword to interact with the Windows Save As dialog box7.
Here’s a sample script to illustrate the process:
java
Copy
import com.katalon.studio.common.KeywordUtil;
import com.katalon.studio.common.StringUtil;
import com.katalon.studio.exception.KatalonException;
import com.katalon.studio.ui.common.WebUI;
import com.katalon.studio.ui.common.WebUIUtil;
import java.util.HashMap;
// Open the browser
WebUI.openBrowser("https://example.com/download-page");
// Locate the download button and click it
WebUI.waitForElementPresent(findTestObject("DownloadButton"), 10);
WebUI.click(findTestObject("DownloadButton"));
// Set Chrome preferences to download files automatically
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", "C:/path/to/download/directory");
chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false);
WebUI.executeJavaScript("Object.assign(navigator.chrome, chromePrefs);");
// Simulate pressing Ctrl + S to save the file
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject("DownloadButton"), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "s"));
Make sure to replace "https://example.com/download-page" and "DownloadButton" with the actual URL and element locator for your specific case.

I want to do that using Web Service feature of Katalon rather than using WebUI keywords. How can I do it?
Copilot
Got it! To download a PDF using the Web Service feature in Katalon Studio, you can follow these steps:
- Create a new Test Case or open an existing one.
- Add a Web Service Request: In the Manual View, click on the plus icon to add a new Web Service Request1. You can also do this in the Script View by adding the necessary Groovy code2.
- Configure the Web Service Request: Set up the request to target the URL that provides the PDF3. You’ll need to configure the request method (e.g., GET or POST) and any necessary headers or parameters4.
- Send the Request: Use the
Send Request keyword to send the web service request5.
- Save the Response: Capture the response from the web service and save it as a PDF file6. You can use Groovy code to handle the response and save it to a file.
Here’s a sample script to illustrate the process:
groovy
Copy
import com.katalon.studio.core.WebService
import java.nio.file.Files
import java.nio.file.Paths
// Define the URL and other request parameters
def url = 'https://example.com/download-pdf'
def method = 'GET'
def headers = ['Content-Type': 'application/pdf']
// Send the web service request
def response = WebService.sendRequest(url, method, headers)
// Save the response as a PDF file
def filePath = 'C:/path/to/download/directory/response.pdf'
Files.write(Paths.get(filePath), response.body)
Make sure to replace the URL, headers, and file path with the actual values for your specific case.

There is no such class com.katalon.studio.core.WebService
Copilot
I apologize for the confusion. It seems I made a mistake. Katalon Studio uses a different class for handling web services1. You should use the com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.common.WebServiceMethod class instead2.
Here’s an updated example using the correct class:
groovy
Copy
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.common.WebServiceMethod
import java.nio.file.Files
import java.nio.file.Paths
// Define the URL and other request parameters
def url = 'https://example.com/download-pdf'
def method = 'GET'
def headers = ['Content-Type': 'application/pdf']
// Send the web service request
def response = WebServiceMethod.sendRequest(url, method, headers)
// Save the response as a PDF file
def filePath = 'C:/path/to/download/directory/response.pdf'
Files.write(Paths.get(filePath), response.body)

My fault—I messed up a bit there. 
To correctly download a PDF using the Web Service feature in Katalon Studio, you can use the WS class. Here’s the proper way to do it:
- Create a Web Service Request object for the specific URL.
- Send the request and capture the response.
- Save the response body to a PDF file.
Here’s how you can do it:
groovy
Copy
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
import java.nio.file.Files
import java.nio.file.Paths
// Define the URL
def url = 'https://example.com/download-pdf'
// Send the request
def response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('Object Repository/your_test_object'))
// Save the response as a PDF file
def filePath = 'C:/path/to/download/directory/response.pdf'
Files.write(Paths.get(filePath), response.getResponseBodyContent().bytes)
In this script:
- Replace
'Object Repository/your_test_object' with the correct path to your Web Service request object.
- The response body content is saved directly as a PDF file.
This should work without needing to rely on the UI. Let me know if you hit any snags or if there’s something else I can help with!
