My script downloads a PDF file, but when it downloads, it says "Failed - Download Error".
When I do everything manually, it works fine.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import pandas as pd, numpy as np
import os
import datetime
from datetime import timedelta
import urllib.request
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option(
'prefs',
{
"download.default_directory":"C:/Users/my.username/Desktop",
"download.prompt_for_download":False,
"download.directory_upgrade": True,
"plugins.always_open_pdf_externally": True
}
)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
executable_path = 'C:/Users/my.username/Downloads/chromdriver_v100/chromedriver.exe'
,chrome_options = options
)
driver.get('https://www.mywebsite/users/sign_in')
WebElement_username = driver.find_element_by_name("user[login]")
WebElement_username.send_keys("my_username")
WebElement_password = driver.find_element_by_name("user[password]")
WebElement_password.send_keys("my_password")
WebElement_password.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
url = 'https://www.mywebsite.com/company/123/facility/58965/reports/close_of_day/2022-4-1/2022-4-20.pdf'
driver.get(url)
Is there something else I need to do differently?
CodePudding user response：
Figured it out.
Here is some useful documentation:
I needed to change:
"download.default_directory":"C:/Users/my.username/Desktop",
to
"download.default_directory":"C:\Users\my.username\Desktop",
