Download in chrome

[Gary Passero]

Hi,

I'm trying to test a scenario using NightwatchJS that involves downloading a file. When I click the component that starts the download, the browser is stuck awaiting for user approval to save it. I've tried every variation of config that I can find online to override the safety settings, like this (in my `nightwatch.conf.js` file)

```js

...

desiredCapabilities": {
  "browserName": "chrome",
  "javascriptEnabled": true,
  "chromeOptions": {
        "prefs": {

            "download": {

                "default_directory": `${__dirname}/downloads`,

                "prompt_for_download": false,
                "directory_upgrade": true,
            },
            "safebrowsing": {
                 "enabled": false,
             }
         }

...

```

I see that others here are successfully using Nightwatch to test download scenarios. Can someone give me the magic sauce to do so with Chrome driver?

Thank you

Gary

HI,

I have used the following in the prefs config

          "prefs": {

            "download.default_directory": "YOUR DIR WHERE YOU WANT TO DOWNLAOD",

            "download.directory_upgrade": "true",

            "download.extensions_to_open": "",

            "download.prompt_for_download": "false",

            "profile.default_content_settings.popups": 0,

            "safebrowsing.enabled": "true"

          }

This works for me. 

Thanks,

J
