Re: How can I open a notepad downloaded from the browser?
I found the final solution. It will work for when the file has a dynamic name or not, I leave you step by step 1. Do what is indicated in this link to interact with the download bar of the browser as an object, recognized by Object Spy 2. Use the Click action on the object, if the file has a dynamic name (which is never the same) follow steps 3 and 4 3. Object spy provides the mapped name of the object, complete up to the filename, you must remove the last child which is the file itself and only handle the browser download bar as the object I show you with image and example: The full mapped name of the object (downloaded file) is as follows: Aliases.browser.Form("Acquisition Shipment Detail - Google Chrome").Pane("Acquisition Shipment Detail - Google Chrome").Pane(0).Pane(0).Pane(1).Grouping("Downloads bar").Grouping("FileName.") You must eliminate the part marked in italics, in this way the object that you will handle will be the download bar of the browser 4. When performing the Click action you must include the ClientX, ClientY parameters, these coordinates are of the object itself and not of the screen. More information about Click(ClientX, ClientY) here In my case, the code was as I show you below, maybe it is not the most optimal but I am learning: (i'm using VBScript) dim blnTest set blnTest = Aliases.browser.Form("Acquisition Shipment Detail - Google Chrome").Pane("Acquisition Shipment Detail - Google Chrome").Pane(0).Pane(0).Pane(1).Grouping("Downloads bar") call blnTest.Click(10,20) Note: The coordinates 10,20 of the browser bar is the upper left corner of the bar A pleasure to share my experience on this topic that gave me so many headaches 🙂Re: How can I open a notepad downloaded from the browser?
I wanted to tell everyone that I was actually a bit afraid that the question of interacting with the Chrome download bar was going to be a bit more complicated, but it was very easy and I managed to get Object Spy to see my downloaded file. Now I don't know what else to do but that's another investigation lol Note: I don't think this will be my solution either because with the spy object at the end is the name of the file that is downloaded, which in my case is dynamic as I had commented. I will try to access the object without including the file name and I will tell you how it wentHow can I open a notepad downloaded from the browser?
I'm running a test with scripts, using VBScripts. The test consists of downloading a browser notepad, opening it, checking content and closing it. The notepad is downloaded but I can't open it automatically, it shows as a downloaded item at the bottom of the browser, is there any way to open it? I tried using the following Set p = Sys.Process("notepad") Set Edit = p.Window("Notepad").Window("Edit") ReadFileLines = Edit.wText p.Close This works perfectly for me if I manually click on the downloaded notepad
