first of all, I'm sorry for my English
I am doing some scripting in Python using Selenium RC.
The aim is to access to some website, and download some files
I would like to know, at the end of the script, what files exactly have been downloaded
At that moment, I'm doing something a bit naive, which is checking the new files who appears in the download directory of Firefox, it's working well but if I launch severals clients in the same times, they can't detect which files they own etc...
So i was trying to find a solution to that problem, if it's possible to handle the download from Firefox to know exactly when a download occur, and what is downloaded, then I would be super fine, but so far, I haven't find anything about that
Thanks for your help
I haven't tried it myself, but I would consider setting up multiple Firefox profiles each set with a different download directory and then telling my instances to use those profiles (or maybe programmatically setting profile values if you're using Selenium2 - I'm not sure if download directory is possible to change or not). Then you can keep monitoring each directory and seeing what was downloaded for each session.
Is it possible to know what file is downloaded by Firefox with Selenium
