How to download files using GeckoDriver Firefox and Selenium?
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have a requirement to download a PDF file using Selenium Webdriver (#Java). Steps:
Save Product
Click on Print
New window with url opens
Save PDF.
Can anybody please help me in automating the above steps.
For downloads, I put the follwing code before instantiating the Chrome browser
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<>();
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", "YouSaveDirectoryHere");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
options.merge(cap);
This automatically downloads the file without a popup when clicking on the download button.
Hope it helps!

I know this is an old question, and I've tried answers from a few posts such as Disable Chrome notifications (Selenium)
Unfortunately none worked, the browser notification popup still comes and interrupts my simulations.
My Chrome version is 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit), running on MacOS.
Edit:
After this question was marked as a duplicate of How to disable push-notifications using Selenium for Firefox and Chrome?, I've tried the solutions, but it still did not work for me.
String chromePath = "somepath/selenium-2.48.2/chromedriver";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
prefs.put("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Below are the original solutions I tried.
String chromePath = "somepathto/chromedriver";
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
// Login
try {
driver.get(sometestURL);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
// do some operations
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
I also tried this:
String chromePath = "somepath/selenium-2.48.2/chromedriver";
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
But the notification still comes "xxxxwebsite wants to show notifications Allow Block" on the upper left of the window.
What I did not do right?
I just tested this on Windows with Chrome 75.0.3770.142 (64 bit) and ChromeDriver 75.0.3770.90 (see log below) against web site https://www.nzz.ch (because it asks for permission to show push notifications). I used Selenium 3.14.0.
08:27:37.184 [main] INFO i.g.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager - Exporting webdriver.chrome.driver as C:\Users\xxxxx\.m2\repository\webdriver\chromedriver\win32\75.0.3770.90\chromedriver.exe
Starting ChromeDriver 75.0.3770.90 (a6dcaf7e3ec6f70a194cc25e8149475c6590e025-refs/branch-heads/3770#{#1003}) on port 32864
For me the switch also mentioned here and in the linked resources reliably deactivates the popup from being displayed:
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
Changing the default setting profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications is not necessary in my case. So if this does not work for you
either you are not setting the option correctly,
you are using a (possibly outdated) ChromeDriver version not supporting it or
for some reason on MacOS the driver does not implement it.
P.S.: In both Firefox and Chrome for me it was not problem to e.g. click links and navigate to other pages even during the notification pop-up was shown. Did you have any problems there or is the pop-up just an annoyance?
My test cases involve export/download the excel files from web pages. For which I am using Firefox profile to accept the downloads when the download dialog popup on windows. The following code is working when I execute my test on local windows.
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile fProfile = profile.getProfile("Selenium");
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\temp\\reports\\");
fProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile", "text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml");
fProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml");
fProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", false);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", false);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", false);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", false);
fProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", false);
fProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
fProfile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(true);
fProfile.setPreference("security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled", false);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, fProfile);
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
capabilities.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
I want to run the tests on Jenkins and I have been running into the issues. I receive Nullpointer exception on the line right after I initialize the firefox profile. Which means the firefox profile did not pickup. Following is the error.
I am wondering if Jenkins is not understanding the firefox profile "Selenium" which I created through Firefox Profile section.
Note: I can run my tests from the windows command line but not through the Jenkins.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Instead of using capabilities, use FirefoxOptions
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.addArgument("--headless");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
When I run a browser with extension a pop up arise that says "Disable developer mode" to do so my script clicks on Disable, it opens a new tab with url "chrome://extensions/"
Now to click on checkbox of developer mode it always give an error "Unable to locate element."
driver.findelement(By.id("toggle-dev-on"));

Here is the solution for your Question:
As per best practices to work with Selenium 3.4.0 you must download the latest chromedriver v2.29 from here, update your Google Chrome to 58.x.
Updating your chromedriver to v2.29 will solve your issue of Disable developer mode
To work with Google Chrome you can take help of ChromeOptions Class as follows:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://gmail.com");
Let me know if this solves your Question.
You need to modify the appropriate browser profile to have JS disabled. Like for FireFox/Chrome you can tell Selenium which profile to use.
Chrome :
Map prefs = new HashMap();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
FireFox :
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
ffprofile.setPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
Hope this will work out for your case.
I have included firebug when launching firefox driver and it works very fine with latest selenium web driver 3.0 but meanwhile it also opens new firebug tab every time when launching browser.
As code says, i have included firebug file and added this extension in created profile. Is there any way to close the firebug tab automatically after launching the browser? If there is no automatic way then i need to use tweak to close window named "Firebug" right?
Code:
File file = new File("./firebug-2.0.17-fx.xpi");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", config.getStringProperty("geckodriver.path"));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(file);
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
You can set the "showFirstRunPage" flag to "false" in your porfile.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.showFirstRunPage", false);
Here is a link to all firebug preferences you can set.
Firebug Preferences
An other solution is to set the "currentVersion" to a big number like this.
profile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "999");
I prefer the first on ;)
I was looking for automatically closing Firebug window but i think its not possible so posting an answer to handle opened windows after launching firebox browser with firebug capabilities, unfortunately you need to deal with extra lines of code due to this issue :)
Below solution it works fine, just use it like below:
Working code:
File file = new File("./firebug-2.0.17-fx.xpi");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", config.getStringProperty("geckodriver.path"));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(file);
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
// Close the firebug window
Thread.sleep(4000); // Firebug window takes time to open it
Set <String> windows = webDriver.getWindowHandles();
String mainwindow = webDriver.getWindowHandle();
for (String handle: windows) {
webDriver.switchTo().window(handle);
if (!handle.equals(mainwindow)) {
webDriver.close();
}
}
webDriver.switchTo().window(mainwindow);
Problem Description - Upon clicking a link on the page, popup got blocked automatically.
file = new File("tools/chromedriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
caps.setCapability("nativeEvents", false);
driver = new ChromeDriver(caps);
Environment used – Selenium WebDriver – 2.43.0 ChromeDriver, Windows 7
Note – it is working fine on Firefox & IE, this issue is happening on Chrome only.
Please assist on this.
This is a Chrome Option to disable all popups for the site
Open Chrome.
Find a page that has pop-ups blocked for you.
At the end of the address bar, click the pop-up blocker icon chrome op-up
locked.
Click the link for the pop-up window you'd like to see.
To always see pop-ups for the site, select Always show pop-ups from [site].
Once you have this set use the profile it is saved against to load for the test
Another option is to open the site and Shift F5 to do a Cache Refresh
Load a Profile. The code below is C# and you haven't specified a language. Please see the links provided for Java examples
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
userDataPath = "C:/Users/user_name/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data";
options.AddArguments("user-data-dir=" + userDataPath);
options.AddArguments("--start-maximized");
driver = new ChromeDriver("pathToChromeDriver", options);
You can pass the chromeOption to allow pop-up as shown in below:
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.popups", 1);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
