Get default folder path using Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am new to selenium, and I would like to know how to get the default path to the browser download folder (I use chrome) in the operating system.

I just found a way to set the default path as follows:

var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", path); chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("intl.accept_languages", "nl"); chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true"); var driver = new ChromeDriver("Driver_Path", chromeOptions); 

Answer 1

2 ways to achieve this.

Here you can find: Find the Chrome path

Type seconds on browswer (you can do this via sendKeys):

 chrome://settings 

then instruct your web admin to click "advanced" and finally you can grab the default download directory from "location"

If you’re stuck anywhere or want more help, let me know. Good luck
