I am currently trying to create cross-browser automated tests with Geb but I cannot find any documentation about preferences with Edge. What I am trying to do is to set up my Edge environment to automatically download documents and save them in downloads/edge.
I have done this way for chrome and firefox:
customChrome {
driver = {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", new File ("Drivers/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe").getAbsolutePath())
Map<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>()
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", new File("downloads/chrome").getAbsolutePath())
chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false)
chromePrefs.put("plugins.always_open_pdf_externally", true)
ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions()
opt.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs)
new ChromeDriver(opt)
}
}
customFF {
driver = {
FirefoxProfile myProfile = new FirefoxProfile()
myProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false)
myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false)
myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", new File("downloads/firefox").getAbsolutePath()) // my downloading dir
myProfile.setPreference("services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false)
myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", true)
myProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf, image/jpeg")
myProfile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true)
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", new File("Drivers/GeckoDriver/geckodriver.exe").getAbsolutePath())
new FirefoxDriver(myProfile)
}
}
I used this source file to get chrome's prefs and this webpage for getting those of firefox but I cannot find anything similar for Edge. Does Microsoft provides any info about this ?
Please share any info you may have.
I'm not sure if things have changed since, but according to this answer
IE doesn't use profiles and is therefore unable to download files to a specific location.

I am running selenium scripts on Edge browser. one of the functionality requires to initiate a audio or video call between two windows. In chrome, we can use 'use-fake-ui-for-media-stream' in chrome options. Is there anything similar for Edge. If there isn't, is there a way to accept these alerts at runtime. I have tried -
driver.switchTo().alert().accept(),
but this also doesn't work, and throws error saying no such alert present
Edited
I am using Edge chromium and java selenium and have set properties as below in code. Still permission pop up shows when script runs
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
prefs.put("download.default_directory", fileDownloadLocation);
EdgeOptions options= new EdgeOptions();
options.setCapability("prefs", prefs);
options.setCapability("allow-file-access-from-files", true);
options.setCapability("use-fake-device-for-media-stream", true);
options.setCapability("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream", true);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.edge;
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS,true);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_INSECURE_CERTS,true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", getDriverPath("EDGE"));
driver = new EdgeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
I suggest you make a test with the sample code below. I tried to test with the Edge Chromium browser and it looks like it is not asking the permission popup.
JAVA code:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver","\\msedgedriver.exe");
EdgeOptions op=new EdgeOptions();
op.addArguments("use-fake-device-for-media-stream");
op.addArguments("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream");
WebDriver browser = new EdgeDriver(op);
browser.get("https://your_URL_here...");
}
In Selenium 3.141 Version we dont have addArguments() method but in Selenium 4.0.0 alpha version we have addArguments() method
EdgeOptions edgeOpts = new EdgeOptions();
edgeOpts.addArguments("allow-file-access-from-files");
edgeOpts.addArguments("use-fake-device-for-media-stream");
edgeOpts.addArguments("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream");
edgeOpts.addArguments("--disable-features=EnableEphemeralFlashPermission");
driver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOpts);
In the AUT when user clicks on the Excel button then a file should be downloaded.
In the past in other web applications I have handled it using the chrome options as:
But in my current application I see that when user clicks on Excel button then a new tab is open which presents the file explorer pop up. The question here is how to handle this. Even if I switch window handles still I will have the pop up which I don't want. How can I handle this situation.
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", download_dir);
chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
This is the (python) code that I've used in the past to download files
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
"download.default_directory": r"C:\Users\xxx\downloads\Test",
"download.prompt_for_download": False,
"download.directory_upgrade": True,
"safebrowsing.enabled": True
})
(obviously this is in python, I can take a stab at making a version for Java or you can try if you like)
I developed a library which is dealing more clearly in such case. You can generate a ChromeOptions object with given download folder and use a one line method call to download a file and verify succession:
private SeleniumDownloadKPI seleniumDownloadKPI;
#BeforeEach
void setUpTest() {
seleniumDownloadKPI =
new SeleniumDownloadKPI("/tmp/downloads");
ChromeOptions chromeOptions =
seleniumDownloadKPI.generateDownloadFolderCapability();
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
}
#Test
void downloadAttachTest() throws InterruptedException {
adamInternetPage.navigateToPage(driver);
seleniumDownloadKPI.fileDownloadKPI(
adamInternetPage.getFileDownloadLink(), "SpeedTest_16MB.dat");
waitBeforeClosingBrowser();
}
I have tried to set all possible preferences to avoid open and save file dialog while download files using selenium.
It is working for text files but not for PDF files
Below are the preferences set:
String downloadPath = <some random path>;
String mimetypes = "application/vnd.pdf,application/vnd.adobe.xfdf,text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/pdf,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml";
String url = "http://only-testing-blog.blogspot.in/2014/05/login.html";
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.download.panel.shown", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", downloadPath);
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile", mimetypes);
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", mimetypes);
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", false);
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
driver.get(url);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(.,'Download PDF File')]")).click();
Am using Firefox 46 with 2.53.0 selenium version
Please help me to make this to work for PDF, Excel and Word files as well
Thanks!
One solution I found for this is to use the ProfileIni class. It allows you to load a premade firefox profile. You use as shown below
private ProfilesIni init = new ProfilesIni();
private FirefoxProfile profile = init.getProfile("QA");
private WebDriver driver = new WebDriver(profile);
Then, you can set all of those preferences straight on the profile, and set the setting to skip the download dialogue and automatically save to the destination folder you want and keep the settings for every test case you need to download stuff on
I'm using selenium chromedriver for automating web application.
In my application, I need to download xml files. But when I download xml file, I get 'This type of file can harm your computer' pop up. I want to disable this pop up using selenium chromedriver and I want these type of files to be downloaded always. How can this be done?
Selenium version : 2.47.1
Chromedriver version : 2.19
UPDATE it's long standing Chrome bug from 2012.
The problem with XML files started to happen to me as of Chrome 47.0.2526.80 m.
After spending maybe 6 hours trying to turn off every possible security option I tried a different approach.
Ironically, it seems that turning on the Chrome option "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" removes the message "This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep file.xml anyway?"
I am using 'Ruby' with 'Watir-Webdriver' where the code looks like this:
prefs = {
'safebrowsing' => {
'enabled' => true,
}
}
b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :prefs => prefs
Starting the browser like this, with safebrowsing option enabled, downloads the xml files without the message warning. The principle should be the same for Selenium with any programming language.
#####
Edited: 13-04-2017
In latest version of Google Chrome the above solution is not enough. Additionally, it is necessary to start the browser with the following switch:
--safebrowsing-disable-download-protection
Now, the code for starting the browser would look something like this:
b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :prefs => prefs, :switches => %w[--safebrowsing-disable-download-protection]))
I am posting below the complete code that got file download working for me:
Hope it helps :-) I am using Java-Selenium
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe");
String downloadFilepath = "D:/MyDeskDownload";
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadFilepath);
chromePrefs.put("safebrowsing.enabled", "true");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(cap);
Following Python code works for me
chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {'safebrowsing.enabled': 'false'}
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chromeOptions)
The accepted answer stopped working after a recent update of Chrome. Now you need to use the --safebrowsing-disable-extension-blacklist and --safebrowsing-disable-download-protection command-line switches. This is the WebdriverIO config that works for me:
var driver = require('webdriverio');
var client = driver.remote({
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: [
'disable-extensions',
'safebrowsing-disable-extension-blacklist',
'safebrowsing-disable-download-protection'
],
prefs: {
'safebrowsing.enabled': true
}
}
}
});
Note that I am also disabling extensions, because they generally interfere with automated testing, but this is not strictly needed to fix the problem with downloading XML and JavaScript files.
I found these switches by reading through this list. You can also see them in the Chromium source.
I came across this recently, using Katalon Studio, Chrome version 88.
Thankfully just the enabling safebrowsing did the trick. You access the settings via "Project Settings" and you navigate to "Desired Capabilities" -> "Web UI" -> "Chrome".
If you don't have a "prefs" setting add it and set the type to Dictionary. Then in the Value add a boolean named "safebrowsing.enabled" and set the value to "true".
Result might look like:
(And you can the default directory setting has nothing to do with this example).
I used all of suggested chrome options in C# and only when my internet connected worked for me but when internet disconnected none of them work for me.
(I'm not sure.may be chrome safebrowsing need to internet connection)
By using older version of chrome(version71) and chromedriver(version 2.46) and after downloading,i saw downloaded XML file name constains 'Unconfirmed' with 'crdownload' extension
and parsing XML file wouldn't work properly.
Finally, creating wait with Thread.Sleep(1000) solved my problem.
IWebDriver Driver;
//chromedriver.exe version2.46 path
string path = #"C:\cd71";
ChromeDriverService driverService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(path, "chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
// options.AddArgument("headless");
options.AddArgument("--window-position=-32000,-32000");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", #"c:\xmlFiles");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);
options.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("safebrowsing.enabled", "true");
Driver = new ChromeDriver(driverService, options);
try
{
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
Thread.Sleep(1000);
//other works like: XML parse
}
catch
{
}
For context, I had a .csv with a list of .swf flash documents and their respective urls. Since the files could only be accessed after a valid login, I couldn't use a simple requests based solution.
Just like .xml, downloading a .swf triggers a similar prompt.
None of the answers worked for me.
So I stripped away all the extra arguments and settings the above answers proposed and just made the chrome instance headless.
options.add_argument("--headless")
prefs = {
"download.default_directory": "C:\LOL\Flash",
"download.prompt_for_download": False,
"download.directory_upgrade": True,
}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)
The only workaround that works for me:
Use argument with path to chrome profile
chromeOptions.add_argument(chrome_profile_path)
Search for file download_file_types.pb in chrome profile folder.
In my case ..chromedriver\my_profile\FileTypePolicies\36\download_file_types.pb
Backup this file and then open with any hexeditor (you can use oline).
Search for the filetype you want to download, i.e. xml and change it to anything i.e. xxx
Im using Google Version 80.0.3987.122 (Official Build) (32-bit) and ChromeDriver 80.0.3987.106. Getting the same error even after adding the below while downloading a .xml file.
$ChromeOptions = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeOptions
$ChromeOptions.AddArguments(#(
"--disable-extensions",
"--ignore-certificate-errors"))
$download = "C:\temp\download"

$ChromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", $download);
$ChromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", "false");

I need to test a JS geolocation functionality with Selenium and I am using chromedriver to run the test on the latest Chrome.
The problem is now that Chrome prompts me to enable Geolocation during the test and that I don't know how to click that little bar on runtime, so I am desperately looking for a way to start the chromedriver and chrome with some option or trigger to enable this by default. All I could find here was however how I can disable geolocation altogether.
How can I solve this issue?
In the known issues section of the chromedriver wiki they said that you Cannot specify a custom profile
This is why it seems to me that #Sotomajor answer about using profile with Chrome as you would do with firefox will not work.
In one of my integration tests I faced the same issue. But because I was not bothering about the real geolocation values, all I had to do is to mock window.navigator.gelocation
In you java test code put this workaround to avoid Chrome geoloc permission info bar.
chromeDriver.executeScript("window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition = function(success) {
var position = {
"coords": {
"latitude": "555",
"longitude": "999"
}
};
success(position);
}");
latitude (555) and longitude (999) values here are just test value
Approach which worked for me in Firefox was to visit that site manually first, give those permissions and afterwards copy firefox profile somewhere outside and create selenium firefox instance with that profile.
So:
cp -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/tp3khne7.default /tmp/ff.profile
Creating FF instance:
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile(new File("/tmp/ff.profile"));
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
I'm pretty sure that something similar should be applicable to Chrome. Although api of profile loading is a bit different. You can check it here: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
Here is how I did it with capybara for cucumber tests
Capybara.register_driver :selenium2 do |app|
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Profile.new
profile['geolocation.default_content_setting'] = 1
config = { :browser => :chrome, :profile => profile }
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, config)
end
And there is link to other usefull profile settings: pref_names.cc
Take a look at "Tweaking profile preferences" in RubyBindings
As for your initial question:
You should start Firefox manually once - and select the profile you use for Selenium.
Type about:permissions in the address line; find the name of your host - and select share location : "allow".
That's all. Now your Selenium test cases will not see that dreaded browser dialog which is not in the DOM.
I took your method but it can not working. I did not find "BaseUrls.Root.AbsoluteUri" in Chrome's Preferences config. And use a script for test
chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.add_argument("proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1:1087")
prefs = {
'profile.default_content_setting_values':
{
'notifications': 1,
'geolocation': 1
},
'devtools.preferences': {
'emulation.geolocationOverride': "\"11.111698#-122.222954:\"",
},
'profile.content_settings.exceptions.geolocation':{
'BaseUrls.Root.AbsoluteUri': {
'last_modified': '13160237885099795',
'setting': '1'
}
},
'profile.geolocation.default_content_setting': 1
}
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
chromedriver_path = os.path.join(BASE_PATH, 'utils/driver/chromedriver')
log_path = os.path.join(BASE_PATH, 'utils/driver/test.log')
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path, chrome_options=chromeOptions, service_log_path=log_path)
We just found a different approach that allows us to enable geolocation on chrome (currently 65.0.3325.181 (Build officiel) (64 bits)) without mocking the native javascript function.
The idea is to authorize the current site (represented by BaseUrls.Root.AbsoluteUri) to access to geolocation information.
public static void UseChromeDriver(string lang = null)
{
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments(
"--disable-plugins",
"--no-experiments",
"--disk-cache-dir=null");
var geolocationPref = new JObject(
new JProperty(
BaseUrls.Root.AbsoluteUri,
new JObject(
new JProperty("last_modified", "13160237885099795"),
new JProperty("setting", "1")
)
)
);
options.AddUserProfilePreference(
"content_settings.exceptions.geolocation",
geolocationPref);
WebDriver = UseDriver<ChromeDriver>(options);
}
private static TWebDriver UseDriver<TWebDriver>(DriverOptions aDriverOptions)
where TWebDriver : RemoteWebDriver
{
Guard.RequiresNotNull(aDriverOptions, nameof(UITestsContext), nameof(aDriverOptions));
var webDriver = (TWebDriver)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(TWebDriver), aDriverOptions);
Guard.EnsuresNotNull(webDriver, nameof(UITestsContext), nameof(WebDriver));
webDriver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
webDriver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
webDriver.NavigateToHome();
return webDriver;
}
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
HashMap<String, Integer> contentSettings = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
HashMap<String, Object> profile = new HashMap<String, Object>();
HashMap<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
contentSettings.put("geolocation", 1);
contentSettings.put("notifications", 2);
profile.put("managed_default_content_settings", contentSettings);
prefs.put("profile", profile);
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
The simplest to set geoLocation is to just naviaget on that url and click on allow location by selenium. Here is the code for refrence
driver.navigate().to("chrome://settings/content");
driver.switchTo().frame("settings");
WebElement location= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#name='location' and #value='allow']"));
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", location);
WebElement done= driver.findElement(By.xpath(""));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='content-settings-overlay-confirm']")).click();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
driver.navigate().to("url");
Cypress:
I encountered with same problem but mocking was not worked for me.
My case:
Application use geo location for the login purpose. So with mock it not worked for me.
Solution:
I used below package and followed the steps and its works for me.
