In this blog we will utilize playwright-java to download a file and save it at temporary as well as specific location.
Topics that we will cover:
- File download at default/temporary location
- File download at specific desired location (inside playwright project)
- File download example from chromedriver storage
- Source code (default download path)
- Source code (specific download path)
- Source code (chromedriver storage)
File download at default temporary location
Playwright Java allows us to easily download files from a test website page.
Go to the website
https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download
There are many test files on this page as shown below
Inspect any file, say for example ‘json.json’
The function 'waitForDownload()' can be utilized to guarantee that playwright waits until the download is finished.
By calling the 'waitForDownload()' function, you will receive an object of type 'Download'
The lambda function in the above code performs the ‘click’ operation to download the file
Execute, note below that file gets downloaded
Logging the URL of the downloaded file can be done as shown below
Execute.
The console displays the file URL, including the filename
The file gets downloaded to the default path.
We can make use of the ‘path’ method to find out the temporary location of the file during runtime
Execute.
The temporary path being displayed in the console can be observed below
File download at specific desired location (inside playwright project)
‘saveAs’ method can be used to download a file at specific location inside playwright project
Execute and refresh project.
The zip file is downloaded inside project
To download it inside src/test/resources/files/ folder, simply change the path as shown below
File download example from chromedriver storage
Go to
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=102.0.5005.27/
Let us try to download the highlighted zip file
Execute the code, notice that the file gets downloaded
So this is how we can download the files using playwright.
