I am writing a automation script using selenium web driver for downloading multiple files one by one from a web site in Mozilla fire fox. I have downloaded first file successfully and next time I need to wait for download to complete. Can anybody help how to identify an ongoing download is completed using c# selenium web driver.? Since I am not getting the download complete status, I am unable to continue downloading next file.
Assuming you are testing file downloading in Firefox as you mentioned. Here is an approach to achieve what you want.
Open new window/tab in Firefox and navigate to 'about:downloads' directly.
i.e. driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("about:downloads");
You will get the list of downloads (i.e. already downloaded files and the file which is being downloaded currently.)
You will have to switch between your site tab and downloads tab.
Now on downloads tab, looking at HTML, you can easily find out in progress download using state or status attributes.
For example, for the first file in the list, if state="0" and/or status
contains the text 'remaining', it means downloading is in progress
So you can wait till state becomes state = 1 and/or status does not contain >the text 'remaining'
Refer the attached screen shot.
The explanation I gave here looks very high level, but I am sure this approach will work. It is simple too.
Let me know if you have any queries on this.

Hi I'm trying to make an offline version of this page:
https://u-he.com/tools/microtuning/ the script is writtin with Angular JS how do I do that?
I saved the page control-s and copied the file to the local server I'm running.
And then I browsed the local ip. the page opened but I get repeated notes ng-repeat shows up as multiple boxes instead of 1 box that edits the same note but in different octaves.
How do I solve this problem please.
You can inspect the front-end code in your browser console. In Firefox it's in the section called "Debugger", in Chrome it's called "Sources". If you use Safari, you need to enable Developer mode first.
Once you have the appropriate view, just click on u-he.com -> tools/microtuning/ -> index
Hopefully it goes without saying that you shouldn't use large swaths of another person's code without at least giving appropriate credit, or better yet getting the developer's permission, unless there is an explicit open-source license.
I am looking for any ideas on how best to handle file upload failures in selenium webdriver.
Recently I have been seeing a higher number of failures in my webdriver test suite, the error I am trying to fix is a failure in the Internet Explorer tests caused by a file upload failing.
In webdriver the only way I know to upload a file to an input element is to use the SendKeys() method and pass the file path to SendKeys() this works like a charm in chrome and firefox but periodically have had issues with it in Internet Explorer. What appears to happen is the file upload window gets opened but the path is not typed nor is the file uploaded. This leaves the node with a file upload window open, being this is a native window's window and not a webpage selenium cannot interact with the pop up.
The result is the HttpWebRequest does not get a response back triggering a WebdriverTimoutException. This results in the session getting cleaned up. This causes a cascade of failures for all other tests in the suite as the session has been terminated.
Environment Info:
Selenium.Webdriver & Seleneium.Support version 3.7.0
IEDriver 3.7.0
Testing in IE 11
I may be late to answer this question, but someone will benefit.
The file(s) in question should be available on the machine (be it local or remote server) that your program is running on, for example, in your /resources directory
On your local machine, this should work.
chooseFileElement.waitForVisible().type("/file/path/filename.jpg");
clickButton("Attach File");
On Remote Server however, you need to associate a new instance of LocalFileDetector to the <input type=file> element.
LocalFileDetector detector = new LocalFileDetector();
File localFile = detector.getLocalFile("/file/path/filename.jpg");
RemoteWebElement input = (RemoteWebElement) myDriver().findElement(By.id("fileUpload"));
input.setFileDetector(detector);
input.sendKeys(localFile.getAbsolutePath());
clickButton("Attach File");
It really depends on how you've written your code. What I would do is when you get down to the end and detect that you've gotten into a bad state, e.g. the File | Open dialog has been left open, close the dialog and start that part of the script over. I'm not sure what start over in your case would mean... maybe it means reload the page and start from there... maybe it means just .sendKeys() to the INPUT again.
You should be able to dismiss the dialog by sending an ESC to the page. You should be able to use .sendKeys() on the BODY tag or whatever.
You should be able to detect the bad state by catching certain exceptions.
I have a webbrowser control in my application that is used to display pdf files that have been created in iTextSharp and are stored locally on the hard drive.
I would like to be able to navigate the file (next, previous, first, last, toc) from my application rather than using the inbuilt nav of the reader in the browser.
I have seen that you can navigate to specific pages by using
Browser.Navigate("filename.pdf#page=?);
This works the first time but when trying to navigate to a different page, it makes the browser disappear completely with no errors. However, I can reload the file without problem if I don't have the #page=? suffix on the file url though. Any ideas on this?
Alternatively, is there anyway in iTextSharp of adding something to the file to allow for it to be navigated from an external command?
All the official parameters that can be used to navigate through a PDF using parameters in the query string after the ? character are listed in a document published by Adobe: Parameters for Opening PDF Files
You already mentioned the page parameter. Another option could be using named destinations: nameddest=destination. In this case, you need to add the anchor with name destination to the file using iTextSharp.
Note that not all viewers implement these parameters. Adobe supports them in Adobe Reader and in the Adobe Reader plug-in, but there is no guarantee that they will work in pdf.js (Firefox), Pdfium (Google Chrome),... If your browser disappears when using an open parameter, you may have hit a bug in the browser or the viewer plug-in that causes the browser to crash. iTextSharp nor iText can crash a browser ;-)
There are no other ways you can navigate a PDF from an external application. The only thing you can do, is to add JavaScript to the PDF so that it always opens at the same page. This is done using an open action. I don't think this solves your problem as it would mean that you have to change the PDF file every time you want it to open at a different page.
I want to export the data in a celltable to a CSV file. I understand this must be done in the server side. I'm a bit lost on how to create a file, write the lines and then make the client download it.
One it's served, it could be downloaded automatically or by a "Download" button, is the same.
If you just want to generate file and serve it directly you can create a servlet and hit the servlet url in a Window, You may want to take the same datasource and use it at the server side to convert it into a csv. Please follow along the steps as described in (Download a generated pdf from client) and for downloading that from GWT Window follow (How to download a file via a button click i GWT?),
I'm trying to send a PDF file from a WCF to silverlight client. PDF is generated by DevExpress XtraReports (in method XtraReport CreateReport(string reportTypeName, RootGenericReportParameterContainer reportInformation)).
Acually PDF is saved somewhere on clients computer after choosing save path in file save dialog - DevExpress takes care of everything - but I don't have a clue how to open the PDF in new tab in browser.
And here is another problem. Silverlight 4 has no access to local file system right? So information about local PDF location is useless. Maybe it would be better to save the PDF in WCF and send a link to it to the client - but how?
I would first question why you need to send the file to the Silverlight client. Get rid of that requirement and the solution becomes much simpler. Silverlight can provide a link that opens a new browser tab. That link would be handled by the web domain, processing it as an HttpHandler, generating the PDF file for the browser. Your PDF url doesn't have to reference a physical file, you can still generate it on request, handle querystring values, etc... Lots of different ways to do this.
Seems that the question isn't really about DevExpress or Silverlight - you're just looking to open a [document of some kind] in a new tab. Each browser natively handles things differently, and users can change tab handling to whatever they want. And (as you mentioned) once the user has downloaded the file, you no longer control it.
Your best bet (and the way I do it) is probably to have a link pointing to a handler/file using "target='_blank' " in the anchor tag on the webpage. From the server side, you would want to set the "Content-Disposition" header to "Inline" to indicate to the browser that the document should be displayed in place instead of downloaded ("Attachment").
