Hello,
I have a few unit tests that I had to introduce pixel based click events to get around not being able to reference the save buttons in the file download control of the browser.
To be more specific, I am referring to when you are being prompted to download a file and depending on the browser it will have a save button, or save as etc.
In my unit tests, I first need to download the CSV file before I can read it in and evaluate some data. The only way I could figure out how to do this is by hard-coding a pixel based click event. After reading online, it appears its impossible by legal means to access the protected and non-exposed controls for the file downloading through the browser via client-side functionality.
Is there any other way to accomplish this?
This testing framework being used is for the ASP.NET MVC 4.5 web application.
