Chromatograph preference setup on protractor tests

Question

Trying to find a solution for downloading files during my tests, I found this question which will lead me to the settings file in the chrome folder.

There seems to be no information on closing the invitation to download and / or set the default folder. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Here is what I tried:

capabilities: { 'browserName': 'chrome', 'chromeOptions': { prefs: { 'downloads': { 'prompt_for_download': false, 'default_directory': '/downloads/' } } } }, 

Answer 1

You are doing it right, except for what you need:

• specify the absolute path to the "downloads" directory
• add directory_upgrade option

Example:

 capabilities: { 'browserName': 'chrome', 'chromeOptions': { prefs: { download: { 'prompt_for_download': false, 'directory_upgrade': true, 'default_directory': '/absolute/path/here' } } } },
