与Selenium一起使用时，使用Robot Class的ALT + S键无法正常工作

Question

I am automating a scenario using Selenium Webdriver. When I click on the button using the selenium java script in IE, it downloads an excel file(shown in image-popup). However I need to click on the "Save" option in that bar, so that it gets downloaded at the default location. Since selenium does not provide the support for clicking the file download browser popup, so i have tried using robot class fuctionality.

The code which i have used is:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='btnGenerateExtract']/span/span")).click();
    //some wait of 4 seconds
    clickOnSave();

Code for clickOnSave():

{
            Robot robot=new Robot();
            robot.setAutoDelay(250);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_S);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_S);
}

However, this is not working as it is not able to click on the "save" option. Please suggest

You can rather stop the browser asking for prompt to "Save or Open" or specify the default save location manually.

Answer 2

This issue was resolved with a minor change in the script. Instead of

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='btnGenerateExtract']/span/span")).click();

use JavascriptExecutor as,

executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='btnGenerateExtract']/span/span")));

Rest of the keyboard or mouse events could be performed using Robot class.
