Firefox browser's download path changing is not working

[Dinesh kumar]

Hi all,

Firefox browser's  download path changing is not working(version  selenium-server-4.0.0-alpha-3).

The code for Firefox is:-

FirefoxProfile profile =new FirefoxProfile();

profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);

profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir","/Users/dinesh/Documents/");

profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false);

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();

options.setProfile(profile);

driver=new EventFiringWebDriver(new FirefoxDriver(profile));

I have gone through many Google answers but I found no solution for this issue.

Any help please?

##Environment Details:
Firefox  Browsers :Firefox 72.0.2 (64-bit)
OS: MacBook Pro
Programming Language: java
Gem : selenium-webdriver (version  selenium-server-4.0.0-alpha-3)

Wouldn't this be a Gekkodriver issue and not Selenium?

I am brand new at this: I heard getting Selenium configured wasn't easy. Lo & Behold; I cannot get the geckodriver.exe to invoke the FireFox browser.

Below is my code to do this, which I'm pretty sure is correct, so I think my issue is with the download of the exe file or the path id. Can someone point to directions on how, where to download this file from and how to point out the correct path?

IWebDriver driver = new geckodriver.exe();

Hi John, I am not sure where you got that command, but it should probably be something like:

        IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

geckodriver.exe has to be on the PATH, so selenium knows where to find it.

Hi Dinesh,

I think you need to initialize the FirefoxDriver with the instance of FirefoxOptions instead of instance of FirefoxProfile

Can you please try - driver = new EventFiringWebDriver(new FirefoxDriver(options)) ; 

The code should be

FirefoxProfile profile =new FirefoxProfile();

profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);

profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir","/Users/dinesh/Documents/");

profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false);

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();

options.setProfile(profile);

driver=new EventFiringWebDriver(new FirefoxDriver(options));

Thanks,

Anil
