I've seen many posts regarding this but all of them in firefox, none of them helps with Chrome. I wanna get access to this download popup window:
Ideally, I'd like to set the download name from the script and then click the save button. But setting the chromedriver to ignore the download dialog and save the images automatically will work as well
Any help will be appreciated
I don't believe you will be able to accomplish this with a python selenium script. The download dialog box is rendered by the browser so you won't be able to target it with HTML.
Alternatively, you can turn off the "download dialog" option in settings that asks you where to save and have it save directly to a directory of your choice and then use python's os module in your script to rename the file.
So if you are saving some file to /tmp for example, then you could do the following in your script after the file has been downloaded:
os.rename("/tmp/my_downloaded_file", "/tmp/my_new_name")

I have a button that when clicked copies a link to my clipboard, the problem is that it doesn't do so if I use the headless version of chrome(doesn't show window), that button is the only way I see to access the link. Is there any way to extract the link? The link must be somewhere in the code, but I can't seem to find it
I tried using .sleep thinking that it should do the trick somehow. It didn't
I have a script that downloads a file and then does some sorting with the data in the file
different users use their own downloads directory
my example being that I actually use a Dropbox Folder as my default windows downloads folder so I can share files between work and home easily.
(I have moved my default downloads directory into Dropbox using the properties dialog when you right click on the downloads folder in windows)
so I have the need to figure out how to get that download file directory info
Currently using Selenium and Chromium to perform the download action
Changing the actual download location is not an option..period
I tried using glob to pull the system downloads folder, but it always returns the C:\Users\Username\Downloads directory.... which is wrong in my case and many other users cases
Seems to me that you could use this
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("download.default_directory=C:/Downloads")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
I am exporting a CSV file using python. What python by default does is it downloads the file automatically to the path given (Desktop if no path initialized). But what I want is it uses the browser through which I am working and requesting to download file,ie, it prompts me there to download the file (browser's dialog) and then I can download
If you use tkinter, then this answer should provide the answer your looking for (tkFileDialog.askdirectory).
from tkinter import *
window=Tk()
window.directory=filedialog.askdirectory(initialdir="/", title="Select a directory to download {}".format(YourFileName))
print(window.directory)
This will prompt you for a location to download the file you would like just like you would see in a web browser. However, you may need to change the initialdir directory depending on what platform you are using (Windows, Linux, Mac). We would also need to see your current Python code you are running in order to see how it is downloading the file you are requesting.
I want to get the path of all opened directories and urls opened in browser tabs through Ubuntu terminal or Python script. Also store those paths in a file.
Is there any way to do it?
I searched but didn't get any result.
Have you tried something like this?

How can I get list of open tabs in Firefox via a command-line application?
https://ubuntuincident.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/save-your-current-firefox-tabs-and-restore-them-later/
My python program outputs a set of url links. When I run this on pycharm, I can directly click on the links and that will open them up in the browser. However, when I run the python file by double clicking on the .py file, the links are not clickable. I want the links to be clickable so it takes me to the browser directly.
Please support solutions with explanations as I am still learning. Thanks!
As outlined above, you need to use a terminal that supports clicking of URL's.
On linux, most terminals do this. Ex Gnome-terminal, terminator etc..
On Mac, try iterm2.
