This command is part of the Browser Command. Save Downloaded File downloads files that have been downloaded to the browser. The command allows you to designate where you would like to save the file to what you would like to call the file.
File To Save To: The file path where the downloaded file will be save to. The file path must include a file name and an extension such as C:\Users\Desktop\Miscellaneous\myfile.wav)
In this case, we use the Special Folder function set to the Desktop with a file name and extension. This means that no matter what computer the script is run on, the file will be save to the Desktop.
The script is inside an Establish command for testing purposes. For more information about the Establish command, please see here
[edit] Example
establish("Save Downloaded File Check",$comparison(#check,"= Equals","True"),"No") {
navigate("https://www.briandunning.com/sample-data/us-500.zip","Wait")
wait(2)
set(#random,$rand(1,600),"Global")
save downloaded file("{$special folder("Desktop")}/{#random}.zip")
set(#check,$file exists("{$special folder("Desktop")}/{#random}.zip"),"Global")
}
Running the script will click the download button, which downloads the file to the browser. The save downloaded file command then saves the file to the chosen location.
[edit] Important Tips
If you encounter a dialog box after you click the download button, simply add a wait command after the Save Downloaded File command
navigate("https://code.google.com/p/epub-samples/downloads/detail?name=kusamakura-japanese-vertical-writing-20121124.epub&can=2&q=", "Wait")
wait(3)
click(<alt="Download">, "Left Click", "No")
save downloaded file("{$special folder("Desktop")}/writing.zip")
wait(3)
Also add a navigate command after the wait command that goes to the same url to refresh the browser:
navigate("https://code.google.com/p/epub-samples/downloads/detail?name=kusamakura-japanese-vertical-writing-20121124.epub&can=2&q=", "Wait")
wait(3)
click(<alt="Download">, "Left Click", "No")
save downloaded file("{$special folder("Desktop")}/writing.zip")
wait(3)
navigate("https://code.google.com/p/epub-samples/downloads/detail?name=kusamakura-japanese-vertical-writing-20121124.epub&can=2&q=", "Wait")
