Hi all,

I've a new problem. When i'm using my webapplication, i can download a document (word .docx). When i clic on my link, i've a pop-up "open file with", i can open the document or save the document.

When i try the same action under Sahi browser, nothing appears.

Console Logs gives me

i've a crypted document in userdata\temp\download
named => sahi_7eb9f33a069b404183081b10ee7a580a2e58__file.do
but i dont know how to use it.

maybe downloadURL = false must be on true but i dont know how to do that

What is file.do ?

I read few topics, i tried few configurations in download_urls.txt and in
download_contenttypes.txt and nothing works.

thank you for your help

    Hi Fabrice B,

    Add .*MEME[-]1[.]docx.* in download_urls.txt by clicking on configure on the Dashboard.

    Save. Restart Sahi.

    Also, suppose clicking a download link throws the save as dialog. You can use this:
    assertNull(_lastDownloadedFileName()); // nothing so far
_click(_link("download")); // click on download link
_assertEqual("setup.exe", _lastDownloadedFileName()); // check if downloaded
_saveDownloadedAs("c:/path/myfile.docx"); // save to another path
_clearLastDownloadedFileName(); // clear the variable
_assertNull(_lastDownloadedFileName()); // check to see if cleared.

    Check if this solves your issue.

    Regards

    Hi Sumitra, hi all,

    Sorry for the delay, i was on another task since 4 days.

    I tried to add some expressions in download_urls.txt :
    .*[.]pdf[.]docx.*
    .*file[.]do.*
    .*[.].pdf.*
    .*[.].docx.*

    but it still not works...

    To answer to your question, it's not a download link, but a call on a file, a report on office word format.
    Without of sahi proxy, i've a pop-up to choose a soft to read my file, i choose Word and i can see my report.

    I just want to do the same with sahi, see this report and be able to assert in it.

    I think my problem is on file.do : i dont understand what it is...

    How could i exploit the : download_lastFile = file.do in a script ?

    Thank you

    regards

    Hi Fabrice,

    Can you try doing _saveDownloadedAs("c:/path/myfile.docx"); in your script and check if you are able to download the file in the correct format.

    Hi Fabrice,

    There is a bug in Sahi because of which the downloaded file is not in the correct format.

    You can assert the file in userdata\temp\download by using:

    _lastDownloadedFileName(); API

    For more details:

    Thank you Sumitra...

    it's ok for me

    i would to assert on the content of this file but with msword format i think it is hard.

    _readFile gave to me the crypted text of course...

    Before ending end the topic, would you have an idea ?

    thx

    Fabrice

    Hi Fabrice,

    _readFile() will help you to read all type of files.

    If you are trying to read a msword format file then it will be in a crypted format because the contents will be large enough to read by Sahi.

    Regards

    Sumitra,

    yes indeed...

    did you have an idea to get only the text and in a clear readable format from a .docx ?

    thx
