Selenium java chrome driver, get last download name

Question

The issue is this: I run selenium tests in threads for several cases. during test a button "download" is clicked. This button calls an Ajax that generates a PDF and serve it to download. It download to "Download" as default.

I need to move those download to an specific location (each test has one) and I don't know the name of the file.

I have tried to change downlad directory during tests, but seems impossible.

I have tried to open "downloads" tab (chrome://downloads/) and explore it, but it seems impossible, it does not find web elements

I have tried to move (copy and delete from origin) the las file, but with severan tests runing in threads, it could be a problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

What I finally have done is configure a different download path for every test `(String rutaDescarga ="C:\\Users\\XXX\\Downloads"+System.currentTimeMillis() +Math.random();) `whit this, every test case has its own path, and there is no error when the files are copied — Miguel Abreu, Mar 22 '17 at 12:33

What I finally have done is configure a different download path for every test

String rutaDescarga ="C:\\Users\\XXX\\Downloads"+System.currentTimeMillis() +Math.random();
File creaRuta = new File(rutaDescarga);
if(!creaRuta.exists()){
    creaRuta.mkdirs();
}
downloadPath = rutaDescarga;    
chromePref.put("download.default_directory",rutaDescarga);
options.setExperimentalOptions("prefs", chromePref);`

whit this, every test case has its own path, and there is no error when the files are copied

You can specify the download location. Below code might help you try it

File file = new File("./downloads");

        boolean b = false;

        if (!file.exists()) {

          b = file.mkdirs();
        }

        FileUtils.cleanDirectory(file);
        String downloadFolder = System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/downloads";

    if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("Chrome")) {

        HashMap<String, Object> chromePref = new HashMap<>();
        chromePref.put("download.default_directory", downloadFolder);
        chromePref.put("download.prompt_for_download", "false");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePref);
        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

    } else if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("Firefox")) {

        FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir",downloadFolder );  // folder
        profile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true);  // disable the built-in viewer
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.panel.shown", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsksaveToDisk", "application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel");

        FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
        firefoxOptions.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
        firefoxOptions.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.MARIONETTE, true);
        firefoxOptions.setCapability(CapabilityType.ELEMENT_SCROLL_BEHAVIOR, 0);

        driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);

    }
