Download PDF from a link

[Carl]

Hi there
        one of our applications uses a PDF to display some information to the user, now I know that test studio doesn’t support PDF documents either in a browser or standalone, but I have been able to do some testing of the PDF file using the iTextSharp library for c#, the only problem is I need the file to be on my local hard disk and I don’t know how to get test studio to download the PDF from the link. Basically I want test studio to right click the link and select "save target as..." and then save the file to my hard drive. How do I do that?

Thanks

Carl

Hello Carl,

Test Studio is able to download a file directly with a left click on the link.

I recorded a short video as a demonstration. 

If it is really necessary to be with a right click you should use Desktop Mouse Click (see attached screen shot) and then via a coded step press down arrow four times (if the "Save target as" is the 4th from the top in the context menu for example) and hit Enter:

this.Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Down,500,4);
this.Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Enter,100,1);

Note that you need to add an assembly reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll and a using statement for the System.Windows.Forms namespace. 

As a last step you should have again Handle "Download" dialog step.

Here is another video that demonstrates it.

Hope this helps.


All the best,
