Can someone help me How to check if file got downloaded from browser using selenium2library,RobotFramework.In my current test I am able to click the download button and file is getting downloaded but what happens if the file didn't get downloaded eventhough button is clicked. Any sample code is helpful.
In chrome I open the chrome://downloads page and then retrieve the downloaded files list from shadow DOM like this:
const docs = document
.querySelector('downloads-manager')
.shadowRoot.querySelector('#downloads-list')
.getElementsByTagName('downloads-item');
This solution is restrained to chrome, the data also contains information like file path and download date.
Check out this link -
http://ardesco.lazerycode.com/testing/webdriver/2012/07/25/how-to-download-files-with-selenium-and-why-you-shouldnt.html
Also, here's how you can auto-download the file to a particular directory -
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.SetPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);
profile.SetPreference("browser.download.dir", #"c:\path\to\downloads \folder");
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
u can use following python function to download file without showing dialog box.
Also u can set preference for which type of files save file dialog box should not get displayed.
def create_profile():
from selenium import webdriver
fp =webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList",2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir",'C:/Users/mra001/Downloads/Cambium_Builds')
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",'text/csv/xls')
fp.update_preferences()
return fp.path

I am running an automation test in sauceLabs using webdriverio v5. I want to run a test which is uploading a file to msedge. Below is the sample code for the same.
const path = require('path');
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'path/to/your/file');
const remoteFilePath = browser.uploadFile(filePath);
$('upload file input selector').setValue(remoteFilePath);
This code works fine with chrome and firefox but when i try to run the same in msedge is gives Error: The uploadFile command is not available in msedge.
Seems like browser.uploadFile only works for chrome. i have tried various other things but the solutions works mostly on local and not on remote server like sauceLabs.
Is there any alternative for browser.uploadFile or any workaround which can be used to upload the file in msedge browser?
Looks like for security reasons, browser.uploadFile is not available to use for IE and Edge browsers.
I suggest you try to make a test with the code sample below.
It first finds the file upload element and then it uses sendkeys() to set the path value in control.
// fetch the element
WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.XPath("//input[#type='file']"));
// send file path keys
input.sendKeys(path);
If the issue persists then you can try the below example.
// fetch the element
WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.XPath("//input[#type='file']"));
// run JS to reveal the element
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavaScriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].style.display = 'block';", input);
// send file path keys
input.sendKeys(path);

Selenium how to upload files to Microsoft Edge
Note: You may need to convert the above code into your developing language.
Using LogoImg.GetAttribute("src") I get the following scr:
https://scol.stage-next.sc.local/lspprofile/5a2e7338d6e9a927741175e2/image?id=5a2fbc98d6e9a9177c8c1592
But the real name of the file is: TestImage - 9fb0c49d-69b1-49ed-8c63-4283e405b781.jpg
If i enter the src in my browser i got the file with real name downloaded.
How can I get the real name of the file in selenium as I need it for test.
Well the task is solved by other means, i just compared the differences in src. But the responce to the question would be yet interesting.
As you are able to retrieve the src attribute as follows :
https://scol.stage-next.sc.local/lspprofile/5a2e7338d6e9a927741175e2/image?id=5a2fbc98d6e9a9177c8c1592
This is the reference to the resource stored in the Database. So it wouldn't be possible to retrive the name 9fb0c49d-69b1-49ed-8c63-4283e405b781.jpg before the file gets downloaded.
To ensure the download is completed and then to read the filename you will need to use either of the following :
glob.glob() or fnmatch :

python selenium, find out when a download has completed?
I want to upload an image file in protractor. the problem is i can not get "input[type = "file"]" element without clicking on upload button.
when I click upload button, file upload dialogue popup opens.
i have tried
browser.actions().sendKeys(protractor.Key.ESCAPE).perform(); but it does not work.
This is what I am doing:
var image = '../images/image1.png';
var absPathImg = path.resolve(__dirname, image);
element(by.id('uploadImage')).click();
browser.actions().sendKeys(protractor.Key.ESCAPE).perform();
element(by.css('input[type=file]')).sendKeys(absPathImg);
element(by.id('upload')).click();
How can i close that file upload dialogue to upload an image?
Try it like this. I used this for Protractor, but I think it's similar for Selenium.
I also have a problem for Windows File dialog not closing.
This is how I solved that:
element(by.css('elementForOpenDialog')).sendKeys(absPathImg);
Send Keys to the element which will open file dialog, not click on element to open file dialog. Just send to that element absolute path and it will upload without opening dialog.
It's worked for me. Good Luck!
This is an old thread but I'll answer in case anyone else runs to this problem.
I had to solve this same problem today. I was able to work around opening the upload dialog, because I am quite sure it cannot be closed without some external libraries and that would not work in headless mode.
You need to inspect the javascript linked to the upload button's click event and execute some script before sending keys to the file input.
This is individual to each case, but in my case i had to do this (Python):
script = (
"var url = '/Contacting/UploadCsv'; "
"$('#buttonFileUpload').data('url', url);"
)
driver.execute_script(script)
driver.find_element_by_id('buttonFileUpload').send_keys(csv_path)
I picked that script from the JS function linked to the button.
I landed here because I was searching on HOW TO CLOSE AN IMAGE WHEN CLICKED
In case that helps someone.
So what I did.
var Img = Driver.FindElement(XPath.News.YourImg);
Img.Click();
try
{
Img.Click();
Assert.IsFalse(feedImg.Displayed);
}catch(Exception ex)
{
}
This way you can check if the image is closed by trying to click on it again.
Instead of clicking on to ESCAPE, why not simulate the ENTER key press to simulate a person entering the path and pressing the ENTER key to upload the image.
I am doing this in my code and this works perfectly fine.
var path = require('path')
this.fileUploadOne = element(by.css('locator_to_element'));
var fileUpload = 'path_of_file_to_upload'
absolutePath = path.resolve(__dirname,fileUpload);
console.log(absolutePath);
this.fileUploadOne.sendKeys(absolutePath);
browser.actions().sendKeys(protractor.Key.ENTER).perform();
//just for debugging purposes.
browser.sleep(20000);
I am currently developing a Meteor React app, which is using the ostrio:files package to store audio files in a collection named Files. In another (regular mongo) collection, I am using the following code in the transform function to "join" the document with the link to the audio file:
transform: function(doc){
let curAudio = doc.audio;
let audioFile = Files.collection.findOne({_id: curAudio.file_id});
if(audioFile){
curAudio.audioLink = Files.link(audioFile);
curAudio.audioLength = audioFile.meta.length;
curAudio.audioSize = audioFile.size;
doc.audio = curAudio;
}
return doc;
}
This seems to work just fine, as the resulting audio.audioLink is something like
http://localhost:3000/cdn/storage/files/8Q7WwEXyJSkNWwFQa/original/8Q7WwEXyJSkNWwFQa.m4a
But when I try to do something like this
<audio controls preload="none" style={{width: "480px"}}>
<source src={track.audioLink} type="audio/mp4"/>
<p>Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.</p>
</audio>
To be able to play the file, everything works until I click the play button of the HTML5 player. Then, chrome outputs to the console, that the server returned 404 when the file was supposed to be loaded. I tested putting the link into the adress bar, here the server response is just
File Not Found :(
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
I found the answer:
My local Ubuntu installation was apparently configured to store uploaded files in /tmp, which didn't caus problems until I restarted the system or cleared my temporary files otherwise. Having the server recreate the DB fixed the problem.
I did some research and I found this post:

Set up an action.
This uses annotation for the route. YOu can of course use yml or xml or whatever you are currently using
/**
* #Route("/download", name="download_file")
**/
public function downloadFileAction(){
$response = new BinaryFileResponse('path/to/pdf.pdf');
$response->setContentDisposition(ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,'pdf.pdf');
return $response;
}
