verifying if a file is downloaded

[MonicaTeotia]

Hi Team,

On click of download button an excel file is downloaded in my application.

How can I verify whether the file has been downloaded?

You can look in the expected location and see if the file exists there using this method

Hi Marsha,

Thank you so much for providing the solution however it doesn't seems to be working.

For now I have manually saved the file in the path mentioned in spath. I have written below code 

function FileExistsExample()
{
var sPath;
sPath = "C:\TestCompleteFileStore\TestCompleteQueries.txt";

if (! aqFileSystem.Exists(sPath))
Log.Message("File is not downloaded")
}

But the if condition is getting true even when the file is present at the specified path.

Could you please correct me if i am wrong?

Also it is possible to download the file at my desired location instead of it getting downloaded in the default Downloads folder?

If yes, please suggest how can we do that as well

Thank you!

If you're following this example

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqfilesystem/exists.html

then it looks like you are missing a semicolon at the end of the Log.Message line

This may help you put the file where you want it

Use double backslashes '\\'

function FileExistsExample()
{
    if (aqFileSystem.Exists("C:\\Temp\\Book1.xlsx")) {
        Log.Message("File exist");
    } else {
        Log.Message("File does not exist")
    }
}

You can change the default download folder location in your browser.
