Selenium Driver | Bug | Instead of downloading pdf file opening in new window tab
I'm new to selenium and I'm just search for PDF from Google and clicking on it so i can download it.
When I do manually. I'm able to download PDF file, while through Selenium driver when I click on the link its redirect to new browser tab and opening PDF while instead of showing download windows box.
FirefoxProfile profile= new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "D:\Selenium");
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
"application/pdf;");
//Clicking on the pdf link. driver.get("https://www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("Download sample pdf");
driver.findElement(By.name("btnK")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='rso']/div/div/div[1]/div/div/h3/a")).click();
Thread.sleep(5000);
try this 1. go to sample-videos.com/download-sample-pdf.php 2. use xpath //*[@class='download_pdf'] to click and download pdf file
