Before executing next code, it needs to wait until the download completes. A little late but this question has a good number of views, I thought it would be worth the time to answer it in case you haven't moved on or someone else comes across it. I too ran into the same problem and thought I'd share. I was developing in python at the time but the same concept applies. You don't have to do the actual download using selenium.
Rather than clicking on the element to start the download, you should consider retrieving the link and using built in functions to proceed from there. The element you would normally click to begin the download should have a 'href' attribute that you should be able to read using selenium.
This is the url pointing to the actual file. In python, it looks something like this:. From here you can use an http library to call the url. The important part here is that you set 'stream' to true so you can begin writing the bytes to a file. Make sure the file path contains the correct file extension and another thing, most operating systems don't allow you to name files with certain characters such as back slashes or quotations so heads up on that.
The program shouldn't continue until the download is complete making it no longer necessary to poll until it is complete. Hope this helps! I use Scala for my automation but the port to Java should be trivial since I use java Selenium classes there anyway.
So, first you need this:. I hope you've got the idea. FluentWait is very useful abstraction and though it is a part of Selenium it can be used wherever you need to wait with polling till some condition is met. Note the use of createTempDirectory to avoid the caveats of recursively deleting more than intended as well as automatically safely disposing of the folder when we re done with it. Some operating systems e. Mac OS X don't set the filename until the download is complete. So it seems sufficient to use a wait or a while loop to check for the file to exist.
If you are using chrome for the download, the you can use the below method to make sure the script will wait until the download is completed.

You could also try the ChromeDriver for selenium; as I've noticed chrome doesn't have an OS dialogue for download confirmation. When you are using selenium web driver with for Firefox profile , the best way to deal with the modal window is by changing the Firefox profile settings to automatically downloading the file to the desired location.
The way we have accomplished this is sending keys to the browser window. Agreed its not the best solution but its quick and works. We did this on IE9 with the selenium web driver for IE and the scenario we wanted to automate was a submit button click that would end up downloading a file on the browser.
The way we accomplished this was clicking submit on a thread because submit blocks till the action is taken to either progress or cancel the download on the download bar.
Once on the save button send the Down arrow key which opens up the menu on the save button and then a couple of down arrow keys more followed by Enter opens up the save as dialog. Here is the code snippet written in C :. The Save dialog opens up. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

One potential solution is to obtain the URL for the file via Selenium, create a non-Selenium connection, copy Selenium's cookies to the connection if necessary , and download the file.
Since this method utilizes non-Selenium APIs to download the file, it will work with or without any browser. For more info, see my answer here: stackoverflow. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
