Python Selenium Headless Download

I'm trying to download a file with selenium. I've searched everything. At How to control the download of files with Selenium Python bindings in Chrome some people told that it work

Solution 1:

If anybody interested, after 2 days of search :). I manage to make it works!

I found the answer the bug tracking in this comment: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=696481#c86

The code I used is:

defenable_download_headless(browser,download_dir):
    browser.command_executor._commands["send_command"] = ("POST", '/session/$sessionId/chromium/send_command')
    params = {'cmd':'Page.setDownloadBehavior', 'params': {'behavior': 'allow', 'downloadPath': download_dir}}
    browser.execute("send_command", params)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    options = Options()
    options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
    options.add_argument('--verbose')
    options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
        "download.default_directory": "C:\\tmp",
        "download.prompt_for_download": False,
        "download.directory_upgrade": True,
        "safebrowsing_for_trusted_sources_enabled": False,
        "safebrowsing.enabled": False
    })
    options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
    options.add_argument('--disable-software-rasterizer')
    options.add_argument('--headless')
    driver_path = "C:\\Users\\tmp\\chromedriver.exe"
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path, chrome_options=options)
    enable_download_headless(driver, "C:/tmp")
    driver.get(url)

Maybe will be some use to others in the future... Probably is a lot of useless things inside, but didn't have time yet to change :).
