The only thing that we can be able to do is set the default download files location for the browser and allow it to automatically download the files.īut we have a problem here Python Selenium WebDriver will launch Firefox in default profile (Since no profile is specified explicitly). This is not the browser HTML window but a system window controlled by the OS, which can not be handled or accessed by the Python Selenium since Selenium is a web browser automation tool. On click on the link or button of file download, a dialog box appears and asks users to select few options to save the file. While automating use cases we often encounter scenarios to download files like Ms Excel file, MS word document, text file, image, zip files, PDF files etc… Python Selenium WebDriver is excellent in manipulating browser commands however lacks features to handle operating system native windows like automating file downloads. File download is nothing new and we often have to download files while executing automation tests.
