One potential solution is to obtain the URL for the file via Selenium, create a non-Selenium connection, copy Selenium's cookies to the connection if necessary , and download the file. Since this method utilizes non-Selenium APIs to download the file, it will work with or without any browser. For more info, see my answer here: stackoverflow.

Should this answer still be working with Firefox 58? I can't manage to make it work.
We have been using this for a long time with Firefox pre-version 47 and it worked great. Now we've upgraded to 58 and it no longer works. Show 3 more comments. Beta; import com. EbselenCore; import com.

This won't work with HttpOnly cookies would it?
Kind of a weird idea to respond to a question with: "you probably don't need to do this". Sometimes we need to do things. Be it because they make sense or because the boss said so. Making my boss ooo and ahh pays the bills. So, there's a reason. Imagine being stuck and someone tells you your whole premise is a waste of time It seems you have forgotten this extremely important fact in your answer.
Savvy, my bad the command is not implemented in the Java client. Have a look at Take full page screenshot for an example on how to call a command.

Exists method accepts string as a parameter which is used here to check if our file exists.
GetFiles method gets the files within a specific folder. The Directory. GetFiles method accepts string as a parameter. Pass the path where the files are stored inside the method.
In the above code, files are saved in a string array i. It is seen that inside the array there are two files at index 0 and 1. However, only filename is needed. Later, a list of string is created which will individually store only filenames. A For loop is used to iterate through the length of array and to split the data present in array into individual elements. Iterate till the total length of the array.
Line The total length of the array represents the number of files expected; in this case we have stored two text files. Within the For loop an array is created i. Later, add the filenames in the list. This is done by adding the last element to List listItemsName which is done with the following code.
Today, we add another one to the list by teaching how to upload and download files to websites using the tool. Before wrapping up, we share some final considerations, including an alternative to using Selenium for this kind of task.
In the introduction, we said that Selenium is a popular browser automation tool commonly used in software testing. Rather than being a single thing, Selenium is more of a suite of tools. It actually contains different tools you can use according to your use cases:. Selenium WebDriver contains two components: an executable specific to a particular browser and operating system and a binding to a programming language. Go to the downloads page , and click the link that matches your Google Chrome version.
After downloading the executable, extract it to a convenient location. Now you should go to your terminal and execute chromedriver -v to see the current version displayed. If you count the unofficial ones, the list is even longer. I assume some familiarity with the language and the usage of Maven. So, the first thing you should do is to add the Java bindings for Selenium as a dependency to your pom. Go to google. Then, you have to click the Begin Upload button.
By inspecting the elements on the page, you can find out that the button has the id uploadbutton. On the other hand, the file selector has both the name and the id set to uploadname1. The code will be straightforward. After executing the code, Chrome opens up and accesses the demo site, and the upload occurs successfully:.
While uploading a file using Selenium is easy—almost trivial—downloading files can be a little more tricky. The problem is that Selenium has no way of handling the download windows of the many different browsers. There is one simple workaround, though.
