Downloading a File

[Samuel Facchinello]

Hi, I'm Samuel of Brazil.
following this tutorial:
http://elementalselenium.com/tips/2-download-a-file

Implemented in Java with selenium version 2.41. Worked perfectly with the
image, but with txt (and xml from another site) does not work, always opens
the download window.

Any tips?

Thank you.



CODE:

FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.
setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);//browser
dir
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir",tempDir);
firefoxProfile.setPreference(
"browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
"application/xml,text/plain,text/xml,image/jpeg");

driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download");

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.
presenceOfElementLocated(By.className("example")));

driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download/dummy.txt
");
driver.get("
Failed to load image: http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download/avatar.jpg");
driver.quit();

Hey guys, problem solved, it was sufficient to add the correct mimetype
'application/octet-stream' in "browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk" and
everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tips.
