Tutorial 16 – Download a file using Selenide
What you will Learn in this blog:
Download a file (example 1)
Download a file (example 2)
Code snippets
Download a file (example 1)
Let us now see how to download a file using Selenide.
Go to https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/
When we click the file version manually, the jar file gets downloaded
To automate the process, we start with writing the code to fetch and print the path of the folder where the file will get downloaded
Let us now inspect the file version
The custom xpath is path:
body > div > main > div:nth-child(3) > div.col-sm-6.py-3.pl-0.pr-3 > div > div > p:nth-child(1) > a
We than write the code to actually download the file and print the path of downloaded file and asserting if the file name contains the string “selenium”
Execute
Below is the actual file location
Download a file (example 2)
Go to https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download
Let us try to download a file
We can identify the file using linkText
Execute, the file gets downloaded
This is show we can download a file using Selenide.

public class ElementsTest {

File folder = new File(downloadsFolder).getAbsoluteFile();
System.out.println(folder);
//baseUrl = "https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/";
open("https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/");
File downloadedFile;
try {
downloadedFile = $(By.cssSelector("body > div > main > div:nth-child(3) > div.col-sm-6.py-3.pl-0.pr-3 > div > div > p:nth-child(1) > a")).download(20000);
System.out.println(downloadedFile.getAbsoluteFile());
System.out.println(downloadedFile.getAbsoluteFile().toString().contains("selenium"));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
