如何使用 python selenium 在 chrome 浏览器上单击下载图标

Question

I want to download files by clicking on Download icon on Chrome browser. I tried several ways like Xpath and CSS but it doesn't worked. Please let me know if there is any solution on this using Python 3.x and selenium.

Below is code that I have tried,

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time

class TEAutomation:

    def automateTask(self):
        chromeOptions = Options()
        chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs",{"download.default_directory": "/home/vishal/Documents/PythonProgram/"})

        baseUrl = "https://www.te.com/commerce/DocumentDelivery/DDEController?Action=showdoc&DocId=Customer+Drawing%7F160743%7FM2%7Fpdf%7FEnglish%7FENG_CD_160743_M2.pdf%7F160743-1"
        driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="/home/vishal/PycharmProjects/VSProgramming/drivers/chromedriver",chrome_options=chromeOptions)
        driver.maximize_window()
        driver.get(baseUrl)
        driver.implicitly_wait(10)

        driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="download"]').click()
        #driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#download').click()

        time.sleep(5)
        driver.quit()

molexAuto = TEAutomation()
molexAuto.automateTask()

Thank you in advance.

Maybe the element is still not loaded when you try to click it, try waiting for it with WebDriverWait , I don't have chrome so you will have to test this yourself:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time

class TEAutomation:

    def automateTask(self):
        chromeOptions = Options()
        prefs = {
            "download.default_directory": "/home/vishal/Documents/PythonProgram/",
            "plugins.always_open_pdf_externally": True
        }
        chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)

        baseUrl = "https://www.te.com/commerce/DocumentDelivery/DDEController?Action=showdoc&DocId=Customer+Drawing%7F160743%7FM2%7Fpdf%7FEnglish%7FENG_CD_160743_M2.pdf%7F160743-1"
        driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="/home/vishal/PycharmProjects/VSProgramming/drivers/chromedriver",chrome_options=chromeOptions)
        driver.implicitly_wait(10)
        driver.maximize_window()
        driver.get(baseUrl)

        time.sleep(5)
        driver.quit()

molexAuto = TEAutomation()
molexAuto.automateTask()
