How can I rename a file getting downloaded

Posted on 07/08/2016

Hi Ashish, how can I rename a file download using profiling concept or robot framework
Whenever a file is received for download, I want to save that particular file to custom location and save it with custom name.

Please let me know what all changes I need to do in the following script:

[code:36jwjwgj] // mime type

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);//0(desktop), 1(downloads folder) , or 2(specified dir)
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);// prevent Download Manager window
profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\Users\\Master\\Desktop\\erd.csv");//path
//profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile",
//"text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet ");
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
"text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms- excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", false);

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
driver.get("http://qtpselenium.com/test/testdownload.php");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/a[1]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/a[2]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/a[4]")).click();

/*System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "f:\\IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver= new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.get("http://qtpselenium.com/test/testdownload.php");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/a[1]")).click();*/

Robot rb = new Robot();
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
Thread.sleep(3000);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
Thread.sleep(3000);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
Thread.sleep(3000);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);[/code:36jwjwgj]

why do you want to change the name?

renaming can be done through java

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1158777/rename-a-file-using-java

to download at specific location change the location in the given code.

[code:3cc0brcf]import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class FileDownloadExample {

public static String downloadPath = "D:\\seleniumdownloads";
@Test
public void testDownload() throws Exception {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(FirefoxDriverProfile());
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/file/C35/P10/");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("smilechart.xls")).click();
}

public static FirefoxProfile FirefoxDriverProfile() throws Exception {
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
[color=#FF0000]profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", downloadPath);[/color]
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile",
"text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml");
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
"text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml");
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", false);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", false);
return profile;
}
}[/code:3cc0brcf]

Renaming the file name is the requirement of my project, also how can I find the old name of file in the folder when I have around thousands of files lying there in that specific folder?

I need to change the file name at the time of downloading the file. Please see how can I achieve this either through profiling concept by changing the browser preferences or through robot framework?

cannot be done through profile.

and it can be done through robot framework.

when download box appears you have to send the letters(arora) this way. it's very hard i won't recommend it.
[code:1e5hhqm4]
Robot robot;
robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_a);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_r);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_o);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_r);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_a);[/code:1e5hhqm4]
