A big thank you to bro. I was scratching my head for the same problem and I've found my solution. Let me apply this and I'll let you know if I have any issues

[@HYRTutorials]

Sure buddy

[@RahulMukerjee-i5v]

I have tried using plugins.always_open_pdf_externally': True -- and in my case the Preview mode of the PDF still launches but it says "No Plugin Loaded". So it definitely disables viewing of the PDF but it doesn't download it or disable the PDF plugin? Please suggest.

[@mutyalasunitha6918]

Ur explanation is super sir

[@HYRTutorials]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@manjunathk6627]

once the site is downloaded getting a kind of arrow at the bottom which is preventing from clicking on the browse button on the element and also when tried the other way there is some kind of adv page which comes- can you tell me how to overcome this problem

[@HYRTutorials]

I can't imagine what exactly the scenario is Can u send me the video or screenshot on [e-mail]

[@RajeshP]

Thank you for the video. I am trying to download an XML file in Edge browser and I am seeing a security pop-up stating that the download is blocked. I have tried various options, but none of them seem to work. Could you please advise me on this? var options = new EdgeOptions(); options.AddArgument("--safebrowsing-disable-download-protection"); options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false); options.AddUserProfilePreference("savefile.default_directory", OutputFilePath); options.AddUserProfilePreference("savefile.prompt_for_download", false);

[@swapnabhaskaruni]

felt like in this video you are talking a bit fast when compared to many of your other videos. Also, how do we know the preference keys , is there a document for it.

[@HYRTutorials]

In the video I have shown some websites for options ryt? You can refer to those websites

[@swapnabhaskaruni]

sir how to download a file for particular location instead of downloading directly through selenium

[@HYRTutorials]

Didn't get your question.

[@vickydesai3020]

Which selenium java version is used in this

[@nayanagopinath669]

The website shows Ads which fails the test script. how can we handle such Ads ,as its properties are dynamic ?

[@HYRTutorials]

Usually the ads are present within the frames and we need to switch to the frame and then close the add by clicking on x mark

[@ramji_19]

Can you let me know which Edge browser version is being used?. My scenario is on clicking a link a file downloads and I need to set the download path to another directory. I use Edge 96 and the edge options specified as above is not working for me.

[@HYRTutorials]

At the time of recording this video i had a different version of edge browser and now i have a different version buddy

[@ramji_19]

Hi. I tried the same method you used but I used selenium tools for the edge options alone and that solved the issue. The package of selenium doesn't work for edge options so I had to use selenium tools package for edge options for chromium edge.

[@HYRTutorials]

Yes buddy. i guess i have mentioned that point in the video ryt?

[@shankarlingam4702]

[@kumarshinge5747]

Sir, Can we create new folder for every download and after verifying file it needs to delete downloaded file with created folder too In selenium Java? It is possible?

[@HYRTutorials]

It is possible but you needed to play with the logic buddy. There is no direct way.

[@SukoonLakeeroMe]

Hi, If we want to execute this script parallely on all browsers. Then this method won't work, can u suggest anything through which we can validate download feature parallelly for all browsers?

[@HYRTutorials]

It works fine with parallel execution also buddy. What is the issue you are facing?

[@subhakar9015]

After clicking browse button it is showing one blocking ad having close and open buttons will you please tell me how to handle this (I tried swtich to alert,window handle, and also with in the same driver but not working)..Is there any other way to handle this type of blocking ads.

[@HYRTutorials]

Usually the blocking ads or any kind of ads will be present inside the frames. So try to identify the frame then perform the operations after switching to the frame.

In the latest version of selenium you can save the webpage as PDF buddy. Irrespective of the browser type, you can achieve that

[@HYRTutorials]

try this code buddy: import org.openqa.selenium.print.PrintOptions; driver.get("www.hyrtutorials.com"); printer = (PrintsPage) driver; PrintOptions printOptions = new PrintOptions(); printOptions.setPageRanges("1-2"); Pdf pdf = printer.print(printOptions); String content = pdf.getContent();

Not exactly buddy. Using automation we can download any file directly into our system except the PDF file. So to overcome that we use this option. Other file types can be downloaded directly

CAN YOU HELP ME TO DOWNLOAD FILE FROM www.gst.gov.in i have creditionals. and already develop program to download file but it takes too much time

[@HYRTutorials]

If the download is taking too much time it doesn't mean your script is not good, it means your network speed is less. So we can't do anything.

[@shahistashaikh4716]

tried this code but instead of downloading the pdf it is opening another chrome window. can you please share your inputs on this. i am writing this code in a function and then calling it in another function.

We can it anywhere but make sure it is actually setting the configuration before the driver initialisation. otherwise even though u have called the same code, it wont be taken into consideration.

Hello, Your video is really helpful. I am trying to do it, but somehow the ads are pop-ing and interrupting to click the element. I am getting the exception org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException. Is there any way I can block the ads? I tried on other sites also, but facing the same problem. The ad's are coming when only doing it through automation. Manually the ad's are not coming. Thank you for video

[@HYRTutorials]

You can perform the scroll operations using JavaScriptexecutor and then perform the click operations buddy.
