Testers may have this issue for sure.
Assume that we have a testcase that should be automated. And it has a step to download a file from the webpage by clicking a link and it will be downloaded to our local machine’s download folder. As the next step it should be verified that the file is downloaded.
So in a local machine this can be handled easily by using the download paths and all. But the matter that I have is this exact same testcase is getting fail in Jenkins (cloud run). It returns a null value because the download directory cannot be found in Jenkins.
Do you guys know what kind of solution that can we take for this? I heard something using API request to download the file. Yes this file is also getting downloaded by a GET request with parameters. But I don’t know how to perform that.
Thanks for your time.
I tried the bellow options.
- Changing the directory to Windows and Linux as per the documents
- By using jenkins home directory
What I want to do?
- to verify that the file is downloaded
- Read the file and check with the db (This has existing methods)
