Download a File using Selenide

Tutorial 16​​ ​​ Download​​ a​​ file​​ using​​ Selenide​​ 

What you will Learn​​ in this​​ blog:

  • Download​​ a​​ file​​ (example 1)

  • Download a file (example 2)

  • Code snippets

Download a file (example 1)

Let us​​ now​​ see​​ how to​​ download​​ a file using​​ Selenide.

Go to ​​ https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/​​ ​​ 

When we click the file version manually, the jar file gets downloaded

To automate the process,​​ we start with writing​​ the code to fetch and print the​​ path of the folder where the file will get downloaded

Let us now inspect the file version

The custom​​ xpath is path:

body > div > main > div:nth-child(3) > div.col-sm-6.py-3.pl-0.pr-3 > div > div > p:nth-child(1) > a

We than write the code to actually download the file and print the path of downloaded file and asserting if the file name contains the string “selenium”

Execute

 

 

Below is the actual file location

Download​​ a file (example 2)

Go to​​ https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download​​ 

Let us try to download a file

We can identify the file using linkText

Execute, the file gets downloaded

This is show​​ we can​​ download​​ a​​ file using Selenide.

Code snippet​​ (example 1)

package​​ w2a.selenide;

 

import​​ static​​ com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.$;

import​​ static​​ com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.open;

 

import​​ java.io.File;

import​​ java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import​​ java.net.MalformedURLException;

 

import​​ org.openqa.selenium.By;

//import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

import​​ org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;

import​​ org.testng.annotations.Test;

 

import​​ com.codeborne.selenide.Configuration;

import​​ com.codeborne.selenide.FileDownloadMode;

 

public​​ class​​ ElementsTest {

private​​ FirefoxOptions​​ browserCapabilities;

//private ChromeOptions browserCapabilities;

private​​ String​​ browser;

private​​ boolean​​ holdBrowserOpen;

private​​ String​​ downloadsFolder;

private​​ String​​ baseUrl;

 

@Test

public​​ void​​ searchTest()​​ throws​​ InterruptedException, MalformedURLException {

 FirefoxOptions​​ options​​ =​​ new​​ FirefoxOptions();

//ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addArguments("remote-allow-origins=*");

 Configuration.browser​​ =​​ "firefox";

browserCapabilities​​ =​​ options;

//browser = "chrome";

browser​​ =​​ "firefox";

holdBrowserOpen=true;

 Configuration.fileDownload​​ = FileDownloadMode.FOLDER;

downloadsFolder​​ =​​ "Downloads";

 File​​ folder​​ =​​ new​​ File(downloadsFolder).getAbsoluteFile();

 System.out.println(folder);

//baseUrl = "https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/";

open("https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/");

 File​​ downloadedFile;

try​​ {

 

downloadedFile​​ =​​ $(By.cssSelector("body > div > main > div:nth-child(3) > div.col-sm-6.py-3.pl-0.pr-3 > div > div > p:nth-child(1) > a")).download(20000);

 System.out.println(downloadedFile.getAbsoluteFile());

 System.out.println(downloadedFile.getAbsoluteFile().toString().contains("selenium"));

 }​​ catch​​ (FileNotFoundException​​ e1) {

e1.printStackTrace();

 }

try​​ {

 Thread.sleep(5000);

 }​​ catch​​ (InterruptedException​​ e) {

//​​ TODO​​ Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

 }

 }

}

 

Code snippet (example 2)
