How to download file with puppeteer using headless: true?

Question

I\'ve been running the following code in order to download a csv file from the website http://niftyindices.com/resources/holiday-calendar:

Answer 1

setDownloadBehavior works fine for headless: true mode, and file is eventually downloaded, but throws an exception when finished, so for my case a simple wrapper helps to forget about this issue and just gets the job done:

const fs = require('fs');    
function DownloadMgr(page, downloaddPath) {
    if(!fs.existsSync(downloaddPath)){
        fs.mkdirSync(downloaddPath);
    }
    var init = page.target().createCDPSession().then((client) => {
        return client.send('Page.setDownloadBehavior', {behavior: 'allow', downloadPath: downloaddPath})
    });
    this.download = async function(url) {
        await init;
        try{
            await page.goto(url);
        }catch(e){}
        return Promise.resolve();
    }
}

var path = require('path');
var DownloadMgr = require('./classes/DownloadMgr');
var downloadMgr = new DownloadMgr(page, path.resolve('./tmp'));
await downloadMgr.download('http://file.csv');
