New issue 7174 by samuel...@gmail.com: Firefox downloading file without
window
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=7174

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. define the parameters of download firefox not open window
2. trying to download an image
3. try to download a txt

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
in step 2 the image is downloaded without opening any window
in step 3 firefox asks to save the file

Selenium version: 2.41
OS:Win 7 64b
Browser: Firefox
Browser version: 28


following this tutorial:
http://elementalselenium.com/tips/2-download-a-file

Implemented in Java with selenium version 2.41. Worked perfectly with the
image, but with txt (and xml from another site) does not work, always opens
the download window.


The code:
//---------------------------------------------
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);//browser dir
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir","C:\\temp\\");
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","application/xml,text/plain,text/xml,image/jpeg");

driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download");

new WebDriverWait(driver,
10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.className("example")));

driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download/boletos.txt");
driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download/avatar.jpg");


Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.quit();

Selenium is not intended to deal with anything other than HTML documents.

Hi,
I'm having a similar issue. I know Selenium is not supposed to handle the
downloaded file, but I need to download it anyway.

I'm trying to download a csv and a pdf file. Only tried for csv so far and
it fails. I looked for the MIME type as it says here:
http://watirmelon.com/2011/09/07/determining-file-mime-types-to-autosave-using-firefox-watir-webdriver/

My code is the following:

--------------
String downloadDir = System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Downloads";

FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);

firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir",downloadDir);

firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","application/xml,text/plain,text/xml,image/jpeg,text/csv");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

//this works ok
driver.get("http://172.16.1.4:9090/img/caro/hello.html");
new WebDriverWait(driver,
10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("hello")));

//this downloads the jpg file without confirmation dialog
driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download/avatar.jpg");
Thread.sleep(3000);

//this launches the confirmation dialog
driver.get("http://172.16.1.4:9090/img/caro/test.csv");
Thread.sleep(3000);

driver.quit();

Thanks,
