Hi,
I am now using the selenium RC with C#. I want to download a file from application. when I am clicking on a button one pop-up dialog box is coming which tells open,save and cancel. I am not able to handle this type of pop-up through selenium RC(C#).

Can anyone help me on this to resolve it as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Dinesh

Hi Thanks David Wimbley,

I am using IE as my browser. So, i couldn't map your solution to my problem.

And i fixed the issue. All i did is go for using the help of ASCII Keycode values and WaitFor condition available in Selenium.

i,e,

C#

// Button - To Trigger File Download Button
selenium.click(Button);
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("10000");
selenium.AltKeyDown();
selenium.AltKeyUp();
Thread.Sleep(3000);
selenium.KeyPressNative("27"); ///27-ESC
Thread.Sleep(3000);

This is the way i did, and found working fine.

Hi Ramasai, try this solution. all the best.

I ran into same issue using selenium, im making the assumption that when that box pops up you always wish to download it correct?

I ended up running my selenium through firefox and created a custom firefox profile in order to run it. In doing so i was able to say any file type of CSV automatically save it to c:\temp directory.

Here is my below MimeTypes.rdf and preferences.js for firefox. Using selenium you have the ability to run selenium using a custom firefox profile, this is well documented and plenty of examples on the internet that you should be able to easily find. A quick search found this link for example: http://garbuz.com/2010/07/31/running-selenium-with-custom-firefox-profile/[^]

mimeTypes.rdf (defines what files you want to auto download)

<rdf:rdf xmlns:nc="http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#" xmlns:rdf="#unknown">
         xmlns:RDF="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
  <rdf:description rdf:about="urn:root">
                   NC:en-US_defaultHandlersVersion="3" />
  <rdf:description rdf:about="urn:mimetype:application/vnd.ms-excel">
                   NC:value="application/vnd.ms-excel"
                   NC:editable="true"
                   NC:description="CSV document"
                   NC:alwaysAsk="false"
                   NC:saveToDisk="true">
    <nc:fileextensions>csv</nc:fileextensions>
    <nc:fileextensions>xls</nc:fileextensions>
    <nc:fileextensions>xlb</nc:fileextensions>
    <nc:fileextensions>xlt</nc:fileextensions>
    <nc:handlerprop rdf:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/vnd.ms-excel" />
  </rdf:description>
  <rdf:description rdf:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/csv">
                   NC:saveToDisk="true"
                   NC:alwaysAsk="false" />
  <rdf:description rdf:about="urn:mimetype:text/csv">
                   NC:fileExtensions="csv"
                   NC:description="CSV document"
                   NC:value="text/csv"
                   NC:editable="true"
                   NC:alwaysAsk="false"
                   NC:saveToDisk="true">
      <nc:handlerprop rdf:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:text/csv" />
  </rdf:description>
</rdf:description></rdf:description></rdf:rdf>

preferences.js (you can basically take your current profile in firefox and add these two lines to it)

user_pref("browser.download.dir", "C:\\temp");
user_pref("browser.download.folderList", 2);
