Ok what you need to do is:
- When you clicking on the file in your html you need to find the link of the file.
- you need to take the link and make httpRequest for getting the file.
Here is full function of the request (i making in easy for you, just find the link)

Hello Welcome to Selenium tutorial, today we will see How to Download files using Selenium Webdriver.
In previous post, we have seen how toupload files using robot class andupload files using AutoIT. Today we will see some different scenario we will see downloading files in Selenium.
Sometime in your application, you have to control some scenario in which you need to download some files by clicking on some link or some button.
Once you start download files/application, you will get one confirmation window, which will ask to save, file or cancel here Webdriver stuck because this is Window’s Pop up. Selenium can handle only Web browser automation not windows based application. Refer below screenshot for more information.
Here download files window is displayed if you try to inspect using firebug you will not get any locators for them.
So using some browser settings (firefoxprofile) we can skip that confirmation window and we can continue with our script.
Here is some setting that we need to modify let’s see how to check these setting
How to Download files in Selenium Webdriver
1- Open Firefox browser and in url box type about:config and press enter
2- In Search bar type neverask and enter, here you will find some settings(refer below screenshot)
Vcm 2 software download. Now you can see here value is blank so we need to mention which type of file it will not ask if download starts in case.
Note- In this post I am giving values for .exe file(application), in your case if you want to download pdf, excel file etc. you need to mention values (MIME type).
Here you can find their MIME type that will be the values for these settings.

Step 3- Open Firefox with firefox profile.
Let us implement the same through Script.
Note- This script will download Adobe Reader from Filehippo.com Microsoft digital imaging software.
package blog;
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 | import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile; FirefoxProfile profile=newFirefoxProfile(); // Set preferences for file type profile.setPreference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile','application/octet-stream'); // Open browser with profile driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30,TimeUnit.SECONDS); // Maximize window driver.get('http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_reader'); // Click on download driver.findElement(By.xpath('.//*[@id='program-header']/div[4]/a[1]')).click(); } } |
If you run above code files will be download automatically and download window will not appear ?
