Capture a file your app downloads when a step clicks a button or link, and optionally save its URL to reuse later in the test (for example, to feed into an upload step).

​
Setup

  1. Add a Click step on the button/link that triggers the download.
  2. Enable Wait for download on that step.
  3. (Optional) Set Save to environment variable to capture the file URL (e.g. DOWNLOADED_FILE). The saved object contains downloadedFile, a complete file:// URI. Pass {{ env.DOWNLOADED_FILE.downloadedFile }} to a later upload step.

​
Limits

  • One file per Click step.
  • Download timeout: 10 seconds.
  • Downloaded files are temporary and are deleted five minutes after capture.
  • Direct file manipulation (reading contents, checking format) is not supported.
