I'm running some tests in that I'm downloading a PDF from a webpage. I'm running tests in Chrome and I want the file to go to a folder in my test pack. I have the following block of code in my env file#
if ENV['chrome']
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome,
:desired_capabilities => Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
'chromeOptions' => {
'args' => [ "--window-size=1920,1080" ],
'prefs' => {
'download.default_directory' => File.expand_path("path/to/download"),
'download.prompt_for_download' => false,
'plugins.plugins_disabled' => ["Chrome PDF Viewer"]
}
}
)
)
end
It clearly states that the prompt for download is false yet a window still appears asking me where I want to save the file once I've chosen to download the pdf.
Have I done something wrong in my block of code?
Ignore that question, I made a mistake my file path, doh!!! I'll leave this question up in case anyone needs a solution like this for their tests.

I have a few web-scraping scripts that I've been using for a while now that have been working without issue. However because of an update of something somewhere (I think chrome+chromedriver), the the browsers are not loading with the preferences/options I specify.
Current code:
preferences = {
:download => {
:prompt_for_download => false,
:directory_upgrade => true,
:default_directory => 'C:/DownloadFolder/',
}
}
args = ['--disable-infobars']
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :chrome_options => {:detach => true, :prefs => preferences, :args => args}
The problems I'm noticing are that the '--disable-infobars' and download folder location are not being applied.
ruby version: 2.3.3p222
watir version: 6.16.5
selenium webdriver version: 3.142.3
chrome version: 75.0.3770.100
chromedriver version : 75.0.3770.90
Taken from help I got elsewhere:
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new.tap do |o|
o.add_argument('--disable-infobars')
o.add_preference(:download, directory_upgrade: true,
prompt_for_download: false,
default_directory: 'C:\\DownloadFolder\\')
o.add_option(:detach, true)
end
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, options: options
Two things solved the problem. 1 is specifying the options through selenium rather that Watir. The other is no longer being able to use single forward slashes in folder paths.
I'm using Cucumber with Ruby. When running tests in Chrome via Selenium-Webdriver, I'd like to alter the download location to the test folder instead of the users download folder.
My current chrome driver is set up like so:
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome,
desired_capabilities: {
'chromeOptions' => {
'args' => %w{ window-size=1920,1080 }
}
}
)
end
What would I need to add there to change the download location please?
The download directory can be set with the download.default_directory preference:
require 'capybara'
require 'selenium-webdriver'
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app,
:browser => :chrome,
:desired_capabilities => Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
'chromeOptions' => {
'args' => [ "--window-size=1920,1080" ],
'prefs' => {
'download.default_directory' => File.expand_path("C:\\Download"),
'download.prompt_for_download' => false,
'plugins.plugins_disabled' => ["Chrome PDF Viewer"]
}
}
)
)
end
session = Capybara::Session.new(:chrome)
I've run into this problem recently and was unable to get the previous answer to work due to my setup being different. I have the following setup:
test_helper.rb
ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'test'
require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
require 'rails/test_help'
require 'minitest/reporters'
MiniTest::Reporters.use!
class ActiveSupport::TestCase
# Setup all fixtures in test/fixtures/*.yml for all tests in alphabetical order.
fixtures :all
# Add more helper methods to be used by all tests here...
end
application_system_test_case.rb
require 'test_helper'
require 'capybara/rails'
require 'capybara/poltergeist'
require 'fileutils'
require 'selenium-webdriver'
class ApplicationSystemTestCase < ActionDispatch::SystemTestCase
#driven_by :poltergeist, options: { js_errors: false } #uncomment if you want to run headless
self.use_instantiated_fixtures = true
#downloads = File.expand_path(Rails.root + 'tmp/downloads')
driven_by :selenium, using: :chrome, screen_size: [1400, 1400], options: {prefs:{
'download.default_directory' => #downloads,
'download.prompt_for_download' => false,
'plugins.plugins_disabled' => ["Chrome PDF Viewer"]
} }
end
A typical test:
admin_page_test.rb
require 'application_system_test_case'
include ApplicationHelper
class AdminPageTest < ApplicationSystemTestCase
setup do
visit new_user_session_url
fill_in 'Email', with: 'whatever#whatever.com'
fill_in 'Password', with: 'password'
click_on 'commit'
assert_selector 'h1', text: 'Admin Status Board'
end
I looked everywhere for the correct way to pass the options in the class and finally stumbled on it through reading through the Capybara modules, and trial and error. I think I read almost a hundred posts in various places and none of them worked. Hopefully this helps someone who comes across it.
Since my Chrome driver is set up with options rather than capabilities, I ended up going this route:
Capybara.register_driver :selenium_chrome_headless do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.load_selenium
browser_options = ::Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new.tap do |opts|
opts.args << "--headless"
end
browser_options.add_preference(:download, { prompt_for_download: false, default_directory: DOWNLOAD_PATH })
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, options: browser_options)
end
As inspired by this gist
I'm trying to debug why when running remote webdriver tests on a headless linux host download dialogs are presented in chrome. I believe the chrome version is 45.
Couple of Env Details
Selenium 2.53 (gem)
Selenium 2.53 Server Jar
Chrome Driver 2.21
The framework/Tests are written in Ruby utilizing Capybara for driving web tests. Here is a brief snippet of how the remote driver is initialized.
prefernces = {
:download => {
:prompt_for_download => false,
:default_directory => '/home/john.doe/Downloads/'
}
}
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome()
caps['chromeOptions'] = {'prefs' => prefernces}
http_client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new
http_client.timeout = 240
options = {
browser: :remote,
url: "http://<server_url>:4444/wd/hub",
desired_capabilities: caps,
http_client: http_client
}
# Returns Remote Driver
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, options)
I have verified via the hub that the chromeOptions are set, but when a file is downloaded, we're presented with a file dialog prompt.
I've burned the candle looking for a solution to this problem. Thanks for the help and consideration!
try removing the / from the end of the default_directory and also setting directory_upgrade: true. Other than that make sure the browser has permission to write to the selected directory (note also the correct spelling of preferences)
preferences = {
:download => {
:default_directory => '/home/john.doe/Downloads',
:directory_upgrade => true,
:prompt_for_download => false,
}
}
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
'chromeOptions' => {'prefs' => preferences}
)
Here is an example to download a file with Capybara / Selenium / Chrome :
require 'capybara'
require 'selenium-webdriver'
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app,
:url => "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub",
:browser => :chrome,
:desired_capabilities => Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
'chromeOptions' => {
'prefs' => {
'download.default_directory' => File.expand_path("C:\\Download"),
'download.directory_upgrade' => true,
'download.prompt_for_download' => false,
'plugins.plugins_disabled' => ["Chrome PDF Viewer"]
}
}
)
)
end
session = Capybara::Session.new(:chrome)
session.visit "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/documents"
session.click_link "IRS Form 872-C"
sleep 20
I'm using Selenium-Webdriver with the ChromeDriver installed as well as PhantomJS to automate my test pack. There are some scenarios that I would prefer to run in browser when my pack is running headless. I can tag my scenario as #selenium but when it loads, it opens up in firefox. How do I get it to open up ChromeDriver when using the #selenium tag please?
I have the following in my env.rb file to run in browser:
if ENV['chrome']
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app,
:browser => :chrome,
desired_capabilities: {
"chromeOptions" => {
"args" => %w{ window-size=1080,720 }
}
}
)
I set chrome=true to run in browser via cmd.
The solution, following on from Dave McNulla's guidance is as follows:
Before ('#tag') do |scenario|
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app,
:browser => :chrome,
desired_capabilities: {
"chromeOptions" => {
"args" => %w{ window-size=1080,720 }
}
}
)
end
end
I've set it to open in Chrome, only because it's default download action doesn't open up a pop up window, it goes directly to the downloads folder which is ideal for my tests.
I'm trying crawl along some pages with watir-webdriver and chromium. I haven't got any success by googling arround so here is my question:
I don't need any images so, to speed up things, I try to disable image loading.
Using firefox as my browser is relatively straigtforward
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['network.image.imageBehavior'] = 2
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile
But I haven't had any success with chromium. As far as I've learned, you can set preferences and pass commandline options this way (an example):
prefs = {
:download => {
:prompt_for_download => false,
:default_directory => '/tmp'
},
}
args = ['--start-maximized', '--incognito']
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :prefs => prefs, :args => args,
That works ok. The problem is that, AFAIK, there are no commandline options nor preferences to block images in chromium.
Any idea?
My setup:
LinuxMint 16 (32.0.1700.107-0ubuntu0.13.10.1~20140204.972.1)
ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-linux]
watir-webdriver v0.6.8
chromedriver v2.9.248304
chromium-browser 32.0.1700.107 Built on Ubuntu 13.10
I've managed to disable image loading and many more things through a proxy, being any the choosen browser driver.
I used a local proxy called privoxy in my case.
prefs = {
:profile => {
:managed_default_content_settings => {
:images => 2
}
}
}
b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :prefs => prefs
