Thanks, Sir, this video is a stepping stone to understand the concepts of test automation. I tried the exact same code, it did not work. So instead of pref, I used prefs and the following code worked for me.


from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
## Code to save file on custom location
from import Options


chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs", {"download.default_directory": #dictionary

driver=webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C://Users/I823285/PycharmProjects/SeleniumTest/Browsers/chromedriver.exe", options=chromeOptions)

driver.maximize_window()

#Download text file

driver.find_element(By.ID, 'textbox').send_keys('testing download text file')
driver.find_element(By.ID, 'createTxt').click() # Generate file button
driver.find_element(By.ID, 'link-to-download').click() #download link

driver.delete_all_cookies()

Your video helped a lot. Thanks. Only one thing I would like you to do, close the windows and the doors because the background noise is annoying.

Hi Sir,
I am getting an error
element click intercepted: Element <button id="createTxt" type="button" class="btn btn-default">...</button> is not clickable at point (580, 683). Other element would receive the click: <iframe id="aswift_7" name="" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts width="1005"
due to lots of ads in my site. How do i handle this?
