How To Download File Using Selenium?

I am trying to get the download link and download the files. I hava a log file which contains following links: http://www.downloadcrew.com/article/18631-aida64 http://www.downloadc

Solution 1:

According to documentation, you should configure FirefoxProfile to automatically download files with a specified content-type. Here's an example using your first URL in the txt file that saves the exe file in the current directory:

import os
from selenium import webdriver


fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList",2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", os.getcwd())
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/x-msdos-program")

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
driver.get("http://www.downloadcrew.com/article/18631-aida64")

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='downloadLink']/a/img").click()

Note, that I've also simplified the xpath.
