How to set the download folder for Edge in Selenium?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I am writing automated tests using Selenium. I want to set the download directory in Edge so that I can download files as part of my test. There is an EdgeOptions object that I can provide when creating the EdgeDriver, but I don't know what to set on the EdgeOptions.



I know the equivalent of how to do this in Chrome



chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", @"C:temp")


and Firefox



firefoxOptions.SetPreference("browser.download.dir", @"C:temp")


But, how do I do the same thing in Edge? And get it to download automatically without a save prompt?






c# selenium selenium-webdriver selenium-edgedriver

As @Prany already mentioned, probably there is no way to set download automatically. And if I right understood, you want to handle with native window dialogue, when you are clicking on download button. Selenium cannot interact with native windows, but you can use this framework. The sample code would be like this:



// Press the A Key Down

KeyboardSimulator.KeyDown(Keys.A);



// Let the A Key back up

KeyboardSimulator.KeyUp(Keys.A);



// Press A down, and let up (same as two above)

KeyboardSimulator.KeyPress(Keys.A);



// Simulate (Ctrl + C) shortcut, which is copy for most applications

KeyboardSimulator.SimulateStandardShortcut(StandardShortcut.Copy);



// This does the same as above

KeyboardSimulator.KeyDown(Keys.Control);

KeyboardSimulator.KeyPress(Keys.C);

KeyboardSimulator.KeyUp(Keys.Control);


So you can simulate Ctrl + V keyboard action and Enter action. Hope it helps.
