Watir / Selenium Web Driver – Browser Downloads — Solution to download pdf files automatically in firefox 20+ version

 

Solution to download pdf files automatically in firefox 20+ version using Selenium webdriver or Watir webdriver

 

Description:

I have tried to save PDF files automatically using the below link — http://watirwebdriver.com/browser-downloads/  and I have followed the same as per the mentioned page and reference website. But still the firefox browser not downloaded PDF files automatically.

Reason:

In Firefox latest versions, They have added new function called as ‘Portable Document Format’ which causes the issue

Solution:

Please try the below code for latest firefox versions.

download_directory = "#{Dir.pwd}/downloads"

download_directory.gsub!("/", "\\") if Selenium::WebDriver::Platform.windows?

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new

profile['browser.download.folderList'] = 2 # custom location

profile['browser.download.dir'] = download_directory

profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = "text/csv,application/pdf"

profile[‘pdfjs.disabled’] = true
profile[‘pdfjs.firstRun’] = false

b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile

Note:

profile[‘pdfjs.disabled’] = true
profile[‘pdfjs.firstRun’] = false

These 2 lines are added. Thats it 🙂

Verify the Element Height/Width in different browser dimensions using Selenium/Watir Webdriver

Selenium WebDriver Code :

require 'rubygems'
require 'selenium-webdriver'

browser=Selenium::WebDriver.for :ie

browser.navigate.to(“google.com”)

width1=browser.find_element(:id,’hplogo’).style(“width”)
height1=browser.find_element(:id,’hplogo’).style(“height”)

browser.manage.window.resize_to(200,600)
width2=browser.find_element(:id,’hplogo’).style(“width”)
height2=browser.find_element(:id,’hplogo’).style(“height”)

if width1=width2
puts “Test Case Passed : Width is not changed”
else
puts “Test Case Failed : Width is changed”
end
if height1=height2
puts “Test Case Passed : Height is not changed”
else
puts “Test Case Failed : Height is changed”
end

browser.close

OUTPUT:

Test Case Passed : Width is not changed
Test Case Passed : Height is not changed

Watir WebDriver Code :

require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'

browser=Watir::Browser.new :ie

browser.goto(“google.com”)

width1=browser.div(:id,’hplogo’).style(“width”)
height1=browser.div(:id,’hplogo’).style(“height”)

browser.window.resize_to(200, 200)

width2=browser.div(:id,’hplogo’).style(“width”)
height2=browser.div(:id,’hplogo’).style(“height”)

if width1=width2

/form/div/table[4]/tbody/tr/td/input’)

a.each do |b|
b.click
