Hi all,
Download dialog works fine with IE, but I cannot get it with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It cannot save the file with the following code as below:

	//launch                
			BROWSER = MANAGER.ActiveBrowser;
			FFOpenDownloadDialog ffdownload = new FFOpenDownloadDialog(
                        BROWSER,
                        DialogButton.SAVE,
                        Desktop);
                        MANAGER.DialogMonitor.AddDialog(ffdownload);
                        MANAGER.DialogMonitor.Start();
 
       	//Invoke the dialog
                       BrowserNavigateTo(strURL);
 
                        //save
                       	BROWSER = MANAGER.ActiveBrowser;
                        SaveAsDialog saveas = new SaveAsDialog(
                            BROWSER,
                            DialogButton.SAVE, strFileLocation,
			    MANAGER.Desktop);
 
                        MANAGER.DialogMonitor.AddDialog(saveas);
                        MANAGER.DialogMonitor.Start();

Please help.
Thanks,
Emily

Hello Emily,

The following code works for me in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. It was written against a public site so please try it:

Manager.Settings.UnexpectedDialogAction = UnexpectedDialogAction.DoNotHandle;

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://databases.about.com/od/tutorials/a/excelsample.htm");

DownloadDialogsHandler handler = new DownloadDialogsHandler(ActiveBrowser, DialogButton.SAVE, @"C:\address.xls", Desktop);

HtmlAnchor dlLink = Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>("Sample Address File");

dlLink.Click();

handler.WaitUntilHandled(30000);

You are correct about Safari; when clicking a download link it will automatically save the file to the default path you specify in its settings. So, the above code will work in Safari, just not the custom path portion. The file will save to the default location set in Safari.

The only way to specify a custom save location in Safari is to right click the download link and choose "Download Linked File As...". If you want to specify a custom download path at run-time in Safari, here's a work-around using a right mouse click and key presses to make that selection and then type in the custom path:

Manager.Settings.UnexpectedDialogAction = UnexpectedDialogAction.DoNotHandle;

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.Safari);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://databases.about.com/od/tutorials/a/excelsample.htm");

HtmlAnchor dlLink = Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>("Sample Address File");

dlLink.MouseClick(MouseClickType.RightClick);

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Down);

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Enter);

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("C:\\address.xls", 10);

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Enter);

Hello Emily & Nitin,

I encountered an issue if I tried to reuse the same download link and handler for the second browser. Once I defined them as new variables, it worked:

Manager.Settings.UnexpectedDialogAction = UnexpectedDialogAction.DoNotHandle;

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://databases.about.com/od/tutorials/a/excelsample.htm");

DownloadDialogsHandler handler = new DownloadDialogsHandler(ActiveBrowser, DialogButton.SAVE, @"C:\address.xls", Desktop);

HtmlAnchor dlLink = Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>("Sample Address File");

dlLink.Click();

handler.WaitUntilHandled(30000);

ActiveBrowser.Close();

Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.FireFox);

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://databases.about.com/od/tutorials/a/excelsample.htm");

DownloadDialogsHandler handler2 = new DownloadDialogsHandler(ActiveBrowser, DialogButton.SAVE, @"C:\address2.xls", Desktop);

HtmlAnchor dlLink2 = Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>("Sample Address File");

dlLink2.Click();

handler2.WaitUntilHandled(30000);

If you continue to have difficulty, please provide your code so I can test it directly and troubleshoot it.

Hello Emily,

Presumably you're using that code to close the Safari Downloads mini-window. I think it's best to stick with ActiveBrowser.Close() for the main window and a series of key presses to close the Download window:

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyDown(Keys.Alt);

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.F4);

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyUp(Keys.Alt);

ActiveBrowser.Close();

You may need to strategically place fixed delays before and/or after so execution is timed correctly:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
