Selenium: File download handling.

 When we download any file from internet, browser opens new pop-up windows and prompt user for action. Action could be open, save or save as.  Pop-up windows ( GUI ) could be different based on browser.

When you are automating file download dialog box (or action), you should keep following points in mind.

-          Browser

-          Pop-up windows  title

-          Pop-up GUI

-          Available buttons on GUI

-          File Type (Binary file, zip file, MS file etc..)

-          Extra settings

See how IE and FF pop-ups ...

Doc file in IE

Doc file in IE
Binary file in IE
Binary file in IE
RAR File in FF

If you have any doubt or if it is not working , please provide me details and I will try to fix the problem.

Func Down_FF_NonMS()
Send("{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
WinClose ( "Downloads" )
EndFunc

Func Down_FF_MS()
;MsgBox(0, "FF", "in Down_FF_MS function")
Send("!S")
Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Func Down_IE_MS($file)
$var = EnvGet("SWGHOME");
$file2 = $var & "\tmp\" & $file
;MsgBox(0, "AutoIt Example", $file2)
Send("!s")
Send($file2)
Send("!s")
if ( WinWait("Save As") ) Then
Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")
EndIf
EndFunc
$Total = $CmdLine[0];
;MsgBox(0, "FF", "Total " & $Total )
$File = $CmdLine[1];
$Browser = $CmdLine[2];
$FileType = $CmdLine[3];
;MsgBox(0, "FF", "Total " & $Total & $File & "  " & $Browser & "  " &$FileType)

;$File = "1.exe"
;$File = "goodword.doc"
;$Browser = 2
;$FileType = 2

If $Browser = 1 Then   ; 1 = FF 2 = IE
;    MsgBox(0, "FF", $File)
winWait("Opening " & $File);
;MsgBox(0, "FF", $File)
WinActivate("Opening " & $File);
if $FileType = 0 Then  ; 0= MS files 1= Non MS file
Down_FF_MS();
Else
Down_FF_NonMS();
EndIf
Else
;MsgBox(0, "IE", $File)
winWait("File Download");
WinActivate("File Download" );
Down_IE_MS($file);
EndIf
WinClose ( "Downloads" )

How to Run AutoIT script.
create exe filedownlaod.exe file from above code. (AutoIT can generate exe file from au3 script file.)

c:\filedownload.exe 1 1
c:\filedownload.exe "file to be downloded" "browser FF/IE" "File Type MS/Non/MS"

where FF browser = 1 and IE = 2
MS file type = Doc,ppt,pdf... = 0
Non MS File type exe,com.... = 1

Major Differences between Python and Java

Image
Python and Java are both popular programming languages that have been around for many years. While they share some similarities, there are also some key differences between them. Syntax: One of the most obvious differences between Python and Java is their syntax. Python is known for its simple, readable syntax, which is designed to be easy to learn and use. Java, on the other hand, has a more complex syntax that requires more code to accomplish the same tasks. Performance: Java is generally faster than Python when it comes to execution speed. This is because Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can be executed directly by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Python, on the other hand, is an interpreted language, which means that each line of code is executed one at a time by the Python interpreter. Memory Management: Java manages memory through a process called Garbage Collection. This process automatically frees up memory that is no longer in use, which helps to prevent memory leaks ...

Cypress V/S Selenium

  Cypress V/S Selenium During my learning of Cypress, I noted down a few important differences between these tools. Documentation: Cypress Selenium Feature Cypress Selenium Language Support JavaScript Multiple languages including Java, C#, etc. Test Architecture Mocha test runner and Chai assertion library built-in Requires separate test frameworks and assertion libraries Browser Support Chrome, Firefox, Electron Multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc. Test Structure Built-in test runner and assertion library Needs separate test runners and assertion libraries Test Execution Faster execution Slower execution due to the use of WebDriver DOM Manipulation Native commands for DOM manipulation Needs to use JavaScriptExecutor for DOM manipulation Locators Cypress uses jQuery-like syntax for selecting elements Selenium uses various locating strategies such as XPath, CSS Selector, etc. Automatic Waits Automatically waits for commands to complete before moving...
