Why does my selenium code not save the file in the location I specified?-CodePudding

I am working with a code that downloads a file and saves it onto a particular location. The file downloads but it keeps saving it into downloads and not into the place I specified in the code. This is the first half of the code:

#Import Packages
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
import os
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time

options=Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")

#Request File Save Location
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {'download.default_directory' : 'C:\\Users\\HBee\\Desktop\\'}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)

#Launch Website
driver=webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

params={'behavior':'allow','downloadPath':os.getcwd()}
driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Page.setDownloadBehavior',params)

driver.get("www.websitename.com")

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I'm getting wrong in my code?

CodePudding user response：

I should have specified the download path in params.
