File downloads using selenium when using separate remote servers






















The file is downloaded in the docker container but not on the host. I tried using docker cp, which worked for copying data to my host. But this is a manual process that will need to be done everytime there is a change in the docker container, and is not what I am looking for in the automated test.

The permission seem ok and I am not getting any error messages about permissions. Hello, I was wondering how will this work if I am running my test pointing to a docker swarm.

My eclipse testcases are located on a Windows 10 and I am running my test pointing to a selenium hub 1 manager, 2 worker nodes which was installed on a different machine. In my case, when I download a file from a chrome browser running on a worker node, how does it map back to my local file on the Windows 10? Is there a way to map the volumes remotely? This is an article as part of docker series.

Here the assumption is entire test execution along with grid is brought up as and when required and execution is happening in a single machine. So it will work just fine in this case. In your case, you are using an existing selenium grid in a remote machine. This is not docker specific issue. Even if you do not use docker for the grid, your issue will still be there. Usually grabbing the URL for the resource and directly downloading via tests is very easy.

Assuming the application does not do that, you can expose another service — like a nanoservice in the grid machine which gives you the file downloaded as and when you call the endpoint.

The major drawback is in my opinion, that the downloaded file then resides on the server, that runs selenium, which might not be the same machine than the one running the automated tests.

Bad for Selenium: without the possibility for Selenium to control that dialog, it stays open and the test hangs. Approaches to solve the download problem The problem of file downloads with Selenium can be tackled in various ways. What was the other problem again? Phew … that looks like some work for a rather simple problem. Final solution Finally, the solution is simple and elegant, and I have to ask myself, why I have not thought about that earlier — a true indication that this is a simple solution.

Robot Framework en. Andreas Ebbert-Karroum. Agile Testing Code Freeze. Very nice! Andreas Reply. Hi Sasikumar, being a newsbie is not a problem. Hey, Great Post… Thats exactly what I was looking for. Im using Selenium 1. Note: AutoIT and Robot class code could change based on the browser-specific profile set as well as where you want to save. Moreover, the most important is the cursor focus. If your download pop up is not in focus then mostly your code will not work.

By leveraging the browser profile setting, you can download files in Selenium WebDriver without interacting with the download window pop-up. You need to trick the browser profile.

As we did a practical implementation of uploading files in Selenium WebDriver, we will now practice downloading files in Selenium WebDriver on both local and cloud Selenium Grid. I will be demonstrating the file downloading using the Browser Profile Setting. Note: Working on a local machine for downloading files is easy to handle but on a remote machine, it works based on the permission you have been provided to access the remote WebDrivers.

Similar to uploading, the only thing we need to tweak in the Selenium Java testing script is going to be the file detector and the hub URL. Below is a screenshot of automation logs which shows that the file is downloaded successfully. Working on the upload file feature of Selenium is very easy if you have understood the difference between Remote WebDriver and WebDriver Interface.

Selenium alows you to work to upload file feature on both local machine and remote machine. With the help of WebDriver, you can directly upload a file locally and with little change in object creation, and your script will run on a remote server as well. Similarly, downloading a file using a third-party tool would end up having a flaky automation test. Given practical examples for both and detailed explanations will give you more insight into this article.

Before we start learning how we can handle the download file scenarios, let us understand the different MIME types.

This is used to classify the file types on the internet. On the internet the different servers and browsers which all the list of MIME types, So they transfer the same file over internet in the same way and type, no matter what operating system they are working in. A MIME has two parts, where one part represents the type and the other part represents subtype.

Let us take an example for a Microsoft word file where the type is application and the subtype is msword. Here are some examples tests: Java Ruby Pro tip: Write your own FileHandler that will use special codes to represent files before typing paths locally or uploading them remotely. Written by.
