Hi All,
my goal is to download a file and check if the file is correct.
If the file is a Pdf, csv, .... the process is gooing well. I'm using a firefox profile (see below)
but when the file is a text file, Firefox open it but it doesnot download it. Even if I want to use the driver.getPageSource() in order to get the file content, I get an html file and not the text file such as
does some one has a solution in order to download a text file using webdriver on Firefox?
the file content using PageSource:
<html><head><link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resource://content-accessible/plaintext.css" title="Retour à la ligne automatique"></head><body><pre>My File Content
</pre></body></html>
My Firefox profile
public static FirefoxProfile FirefoxDriverProfile() {
String mimeTypes = "application/pdf,application/vnd.adobe.xfdf,application/vnd.fdf,application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml,text/rtf,application/octet-stream,text/csv,application/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/octet-stream,multipart/x-zip,application/zip,application/zip-compressed,application/x-zip-compressed";
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", Driver.defaultDownloadDirectoryPath.getAbsolutePath());
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile", mimeTypes);
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", mimeTypes);
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", true);
profile.setPreference("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", "application/pdf,application/vnd.adobe.xfdf,application/vnd.fdf,application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml");
profile.setPreference("browser.download.useToolkitUI", true);
profile.setPreference("reader.parse-on-load.enabled", false);
profile.setPreference("gecko.handlerService.schemes.txt.0.name", "TextPa");
// Set this to true to disable the pdf opening
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true);
return profile;
}

Thanks for the idea.
unfortunatly my application is a JS application with React;
And I don't know how to get the Url as it is generated thru some Js events.

I would suggest talking with your developers, it must be generating a URL at some point to enable a download. You should be able to use some dev knowledge and the JavascriptExecutor to obtain the correct URL.
