Question

I am trying to automatically download some links through selenium\'s click functionality and I am using a chrome webdriver and python as the programming lan

Answer 1

Using prefs solved my problem

path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
prefs = {"download.default_directory":path}
options = Options()
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome('../harveston/chromedriver.exe',options = options)

Answer 2

To provide download directory and chrome's diver executable path use the following code.

from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("download.default_directory=C:/Your_Directory")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options ,executable_path='C:/chromedriver')

change the path in your code accordingly.
