Sometimes we have to download the files from our web applications and perform some operations on those files like verifying the content or verify whether the file is downloaded or not etc.
But there are many types of files available on the market right?
Almost all of the file types can be downloaded into our computer by directly clicking on a button or link but there are some file types that directly opens the content in preview mode inside the browser window itself.
And those browser windows give you the options to save the file and print the file etc...
those options are not coming from the application rather they are just coming from the browser window.
So we all knew that we can inspect only the HTML elements that are present inside the application. in this scenario the options are not coming from the web application rather they are coming from the browser.
That tells us we cant inspect them and automate them using selenium directly right?
But as everything is having a solution, we do have a solution for this problem as well. i.e Options class
Every individual browser provides the options class inside the selenium webdriver.
using these option classes we can set some settings which can directly download these files onto our local computers instead of opening them in the preview mode.
The option classes are:
► ChromeOptions
► FirefoxOptions
► EdgeOptions
► SafariOptions
► OperaOptions etc..
In this video, I have shown you how to download any kind of file into our local computer without opening them in the preview mode using these option classes.
I have also shown you how to download these files into the custom directory set by the user.
Watch this video completely to understand the whole process for the top 3 browsers available as of today.

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);
