I had a selenium script to download a file from a website and i have used these preferences to get out of getting the pop up on the final download of the file, still, i get this pop up on final end.
I don't need this pop-up and my zip file should auto download please help me with a solution.
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('browser.download.folderList', 2) # custom location
profile.set_preference('browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting', False)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', '/tmp')
profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', 'application/zip')
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", False)
profile.set_preference("services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", True)
profile.update_preferences()
Pop up Image
It's because of the "application/zip". Try this instead:
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
profile.set_preference("browser.preferences.instantApply",True)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/octet-stream") #I realy dont know why application/zip doesnt work here
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", 'F:\\drivers')
driver = webdriver.Firefox( firefox_profile = profile,executable_path='F:\\drivers\\geckodriver')
driver.get('https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases')
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#href="/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.29.1/geckodriver-v0.29.1-win64.zip"]').click()

I've got problem. On the page after clicked button download, the window os with"Open and exported documents" shows. On this window I see two radio buttons: 1. Open file 2. Save file. Default is checked "Open file" but I would like to check "Save file" and next click "OK"
I've got this code, but it doesn't work correctly.
Where is the mistake?
I've wiritten example_path in url. It's unreal path.
import os
from selenium import webdriver
url = "https://example_path"
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
driver_csv = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, executable_path= r"Desktop/programs/folder/geckodriver.exe")
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", os.getcwd())
profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile', "application/csv, text/csv, text/comma-separated-values")
profile.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', "application/csv, text/csv, text/comma-separated-values")
profile.set_preference("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", "application/csv, text/csv, text/comma-separated-values")
profile.set_preference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", True)
# profile.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.tabs.warnOnClose", False)
driver.get(url)
this is my setup for the driver:
from selenium.webdriver import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
#binary = FirefoxBinary(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe')
fp = (r'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fdjhsjfhd.default')
opts = Options()
opts.profile = fp
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2) # 0 means to download to the desktop, 1 means to download to the default "Downloads" directory, 2 means to use the directory
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", download_directory)
fp.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk','image/jpeg,image/png,excel,text/plain,csv/text,application/octet-stream')
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
But still I get the pop, as per attached.
What is wrong?
Thanks
Found, credits to #cruisepandey:
those are the essential for this purpose:
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", download_directory)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/msword, application/csv, application/ris, text/csv, image/png, application/pdf, text/html, text/plain, application/zip, application/x-zip, application/x-zip-compressed, application/download, application/octet-stream")
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", True)
For one of my project I am using the same version of Selenium and below is my configuration:
profile = FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.panel.shown", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile","text/csv,application/vnd.ms-excel")
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/msword, application/csv, application/ris, text/csv, image/png, application/pdf, text/html, text/plain, application/zip, application/x-zip, application/x-zip-compressed, application/download, application/octet-stream");
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", True);
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", True);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", False);
profile.set_preference("services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", True);
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile = profile, executable_path = "D:\geckodriver.exe")
Import:
from selenium.webdriver import FirefoxProfile
I am very new to Selenium and I am typing up my first script to download a .csv file from a webpage.
Problem is, when I click the button to download the .csv file a download window pops up. How do I automatically save the file to a folder?
I tried a variety of profiles but I can't seem to get them to work.
I am using the below configuration in one of my project
You can possibly have this firefox profile, In Python you could this :
profile = FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.panel.shown", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile","text/csv,application/vnd.ms-excel")
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/msword, application/csv, application/ris, text/csv, image/png, application/pdf, text/html, text/plain, application/zip, application/x-zip, application/x-zip-compressed, application/download, application/octet-stream");
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", True);
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", True);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", False);
profile.set_preference("services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", True);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\Users\\***\\****\\Desktop\\Automation")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile = profile, executable_path = "Full file path to gecko driver.exe")
I have written a simple selenium code that downloads files into the custom directory. The code is
for firefox:
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList",2)
# 0 for desktop
# 1 for default download folder
# 2 for specific folder
# You can specify directory by using profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir","<>")
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir",dest_dir1)
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/octet-stream")
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False);
# If you don't have some download manager then you can remove these
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False);
driver=webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile,executable_path="geckodriver.exe")
Now, I want to create a similar type of script for chrome. I just want the chrome script to download into the dest_dir1. I don't see any options like webdriver.ChromeProfile similar to webdriver.FirefoxProfile().
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"download.default_directory": "YOUR DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY",
"download.directory_upgrade": True,
"download.manager.showWhenStarting": False,
"download.manager.useWindow": False,
"helperApps.alwaysAsk.force":False,
"download.manager.showAlertOnComplete": False}
}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, path="EXECUTABLE CHROME DRIVER PATH")
I have added few tags hope you understand how it works and build your own preference option.
Down below where I have browser.download.dir I have to use the absolute path for it to download to the directory I need it to.
But if I change it to a relative path, it downloads it to the default directory (Downloads)
I am running the script from the /Users/myname/magic/script directory
I have tried
./sites/pdd/notes and sites/pdd/notes
I have also tried
getdir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', getdir+'/notes')
expected_download = 'sites/pdd/downloads/'
mime_types = "application/pdf,application/vnd.adobe.xfdf,application/vnd.fdf,application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
options = Options()
options.headless = True
# To prevent download dialog
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('browser.download.folderList', 2) # custom location
profile.set_preference('browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting', False)
profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', '/Users/myname/magic/script/sites/pdd/notes')
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", False)
options.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", mime_types)
options.set_preference("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", mime_types)
options.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", True)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, firefox_options=options, executable_path=r'mac/geckodriver')
Is there a way to get around having to use the absolute path?
