如何验证从 selenium 节点系统上运行的 chrome 浏览器下载的文件

Question

Want to verify that the file is getting downloaded in actual or not not just success message pop-up validation

I considered using file.exist() in my code but that checks locally wher my code is being executed. Also I considered opening default Download location in browser and get page source and do check contains but with that aproach I stuck with getting the node system's username (without it i can define the exact path to open in browser eg C://Users/<username>/Downloads . Also tried opening chrome://downloads in browser but downloading source from there doesn't contain file name:(

is there any in general way to access system files of node system etc.

Answer 1

1. Before and after download check file's modified date
2. Another way is to check the file path where the file is getting downloaded.

You can use the os module in Node.js to get the current user's home directory after that append the path to the download location
(eg "Downloads" on Windows and Mac, "~/Downloads" on Linux).
