how to change file download location in Webdriver while using chrome driver/firefox driver

by

There are two things that are going wrong in code.

For Firefox:
You need to set 

profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\ScreenShot\\");

not to 

profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\ScreenShot\\pic.jpeg");

secondly, you are setting preference browser.download.folderlist, it is browser.download.folderList (L caps in folderList).

Once you have achieved this both, you can use then your Robot class to perform desired operations.

For Chromedriver try out with:

String downloadFilepath = "/path/to/download";
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadFilepath);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(cap);

Hope this helps. 🙂
