Download without confirmation on Firefox Linux (javascript generated file)

hildogjr commented 3 years ago

Environment

OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Browser: Firefox Browser version: 90.0 (64-bit) Browser Driver version: GeckoDriver 0.29 Language Bindings version: Python 3.8 Selenium Grid version (if applicable): 3.141.0

Expected behaviour

I want to automatic download some XLSX file from a webpage using Python without Firefox ask me for confirmation. I tried the Selenium tutorial as bellow:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

opts = Options()

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('browser.download.folderList', 2)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', MY_PATH)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting', False)
profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk',
                       'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet'
                       ';application/vnd.ms-excel'
                       ';application/xls'
                       ';application/xlsx')

browser = webdriver.Firefox(profile, options=opts, executable_path=DRIVER_PATH)
browser.get('https://filesamples.com/formats/xlsx')
btn = browser.find_elements_by_class_name('btn-primary')
btn[0].click()

Wrong behaviour

This code works fine in the used above site. The problem is when I use in my company website where the file is generated through a JavaScript action (the click action generate a process windows, at the end the file is asked to be saved).

<a id="executarAnaliseForm:accordionAnalise:_btnExportarXlsxCustom" href="#" title="Excel" onclick="jsf.util.chain(this,event,'PrimeFaces.monitorDownload(beforeExport, afterExport);','mojarra.jsfcljs(document.getElementById(\'executarAnaliseForm\'),{\'executarAnaliseForm:accordionAnalise:_btnExportarXlsxCustom\':\'executarAnaliseForm:accordionAnalise:_btnExportarXlsxCustom\'},\'\')');return false">

How to make the given profile act in this download? Is this a bug or a missing configuration mine?
