ChromeDriver does not download files to download.default_directory value set in profile #338

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up a Ruby on Rails application to run tests using Cucumber and Capybara 
(has Selenium built in)
2. Configure with the following:
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
  download_path = "/tmp/my_path/"
  profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Profile.new
  profile['download.prompt_for_download'] = false
  profile['download.default_directory'] = download_path
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, profile: profile)
end
3. Run a test that clicks a link that downloads a file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The file gets downloaded to my default download directory and not the path I 
specify when setting up the profile.

Selenium version: 2.27.2
OS: Mac
Browser: Chrome
Browser version: Version 26.0.1410.65

Hello,

I am also trying to set download location for chromedriver. Do we have some 
info here?

I am using chromedriver_win_26.0.1383.0 and chromedriver_win32_2.0

Do we have an example for each in JAVA maybe?

Hello,

These days I upgraded Chrome to version 35 and ChromeDriver to version 2.10, 
and I found chromePreference.put("download.default_directory", "[directory]") 
(Java) is still broken. Looks like the issue above has been existing for a long 
time but no progress so far, could someone help take a look? Thanks!

Unable to reproduce the issue, and "download.default_directory", "[directory]" 
works good. please let me know if issue is still existing with latest version 
of ChromeDriver(2.15), Chrome(41.xx.xx.xx) And Selenium(2.45)

---- tried with----------------
     DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

     ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
     Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
     prefs.put("download.default_directory", "/usr/local/path/to/download/directory");
     options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
     caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

     WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(caps);

I found that the "download.default_directory" should be an absolute and existed path. Can all of you check again ? It worked for me.

0xdeadfa11 commented 7 years ago

Hello! You should remove trailing slash on download.default_directory path. I don't know why, but it's critical for ChromeDriver.

igrishaev commented 6 years ago

The issue is still there. 

ChromeDriver 2.30.477690 (c53f4ad87510ee97b5c3425a14c0e79780cdf262)
Mac OS 10.11.6

Faced it when writing my own library for browser automation.

igrishaev commented 6 years ago

My capabilities were:

{:desiredCapabilities {:loggingPrefs {:browser "ALL"}, 
 :chromeOptions {:prefs {:download.default_directory "/Users/ivan/Desktop",
                         :download.prompt_for_download false,
                         :profile.default_content_settings.popups 0}}}}

Facing the same issue with latest version of chrome : Version 75.0.3770.100 Any help is appreciated !!

valentyn-red-bird commented 5 years ago

If you are using Windows 10 you must specify an explicit folder path in Windows notation. For example, in java this will be look like "C:\\Selenium\\autotest-project\\downloads". Do not forget to use two \. In such case I have it worked with the latest chrome.

adityabhargav commented 4 years ago

--- is it not possible with relative path in the project... for me able to get working with absolute path , but relative path its failing... Kindly, Check and help us with it Thanx in advance.

adityabhargav commented 4 years ago

hey folks, got the soution by placing.... ' ${user.home} ' for the relative path in the .properties file..

Will work 100%..

ex:- chrome_preferences.download.default_directory=${user.home}//Desktop//appium//src//main//resources//pathToData

                chromePref.put("download.default_directory", DOWNLOAD_LOCATION_PATH);

                driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

I am still unable to fix the problem of warning message "this file can harm my computer" with keep and discard button. I tried the download path changing from user.dir to user.home, doesn't help.

Warlib1975 commented 4 years ago

I have the same problem. Try to use all approaches mentioned here. :-(

gdom12345 commented 4 years ago

I've found that chromedriver cannot create the folder if it doesn't exist, and manually adding the folder solved the inability to download.

Warlib1975 commented 4 years ago

Yes, I found the mistake. It was the wrong folder. Thank you. Now everything is downloading fine.

shonaalok commented 4 years ago

In my case , I am not getting any error but the file is downloaded to default download location. I have used existing directory but it just does not work.Chrome version :83 and 77 ( MAC) and 78 (windows) Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();

Method 1 : File folder = new File(UUID.randomUUID().toString()); folder.mkdir(); prefs.put("download.default_directory", folder.getAbsolutePath()); Method 2: prefs.put("download.default_directory", System.getProperty("user.dir")+ File.separator + "externalFiles" + File.separator + "downloadFiles"); Method 3: String path = "/Users//Documents" prefs.put("download.default_directory", path);

Common code: ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs); DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true); capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Mintaka commented 3 years ago

One of the reasons why you can't set your value in to "download.default_directory" may be that you have a system variable XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs because chromedriver, unpredictable, prior that settings.
