Answer 1

I found a way to wait for browser capability to download a file. The idea is to wait for response with predicate. In my case URL ends with '/data'.

I just didn't like to load file contents into buffer.

await page._client.send('Page.setDownloadBehavior', {
    behavior: 'allow',
    downloadPath: download_path,
});

await frame.focus(report_download_selector);
await Promise.all([
    page.waitForResponse(r => r.url().endsWith('/data')),
    page.keyboard.press('Enter'),
]);
