Question

I want to use relative file path in Firefoxprofile function, I have tried all possible ways but its throwing error. Here is my code- profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "/downloaded_files/");

folder "downloaded_files" is saved in root directory of my project. I tried all combinations of /,//,\\ still its not downloading filed in desired folder.

Answer 1

Try the following

profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "./downloaded_files/");

Or

String workingDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", workingDir +"/downloaded_files/");
