I try to download file using Autoit from Firefox 28.0.
I try to download a exe file,popup flashed but autoit window info tool cannot recognize the save button.
how can i automate this.
Mar 09, 2017 What would be a 'robust' solution for executing the downloaded file? The filename changes often. Would there be a way to rename the downloaded file? Or maybe ensure I have a 'clean' Downloads directory first, then have autoit automatically execute whatever file is in the directory after running the script? AutoIt Download and Installation – Step by step Guide. AutoIt Download: Click here to download AutoItV3 current version and AutoIt Script Editor.

Right now both of your
ControlClick
attempts are incorrect. The correct syntax is ControlClick(Window title or handle, *window* text, control *id*, ...)
. Look at the helpfile and examples for it to see what you're not doing right currently.The firefox download dialog is a little tricky, googling gives a lot of results for people who have tried to do the same thing and struggled.
The easiest method is to click the window at the coordinates of the button.
ControlClick
can be used for this (simply leave the control id blank). The AutoIt window info tool should give ControlClick
coords when you try and select where the button is.That method does assume that the button is always in the same place, which is not necessarily the case. Alternatives are to use
ControlSend
to send the Alt+S
combination (or whatever it is for that button).And finally, it's worth mentioning the IUIAutomation framework which has shown to be very reliable for automating windows that aren't using standard winapi controls.

The simplest way to do is as follows on mozilla:
Use the following code on
autoit.au3
file- ControlFocus ( 'MozillaDialogClass', ', ' )
- Sleep(10)
- Send('{ENTER}')
Execute the same file in selenium using:
