Setting download preferences in my basic setup method

I am defining the download preferences in the setup method so everytime I need to download a file I do not have to define it seprately it will automatically download. Is this the right way to do that? It is giving me the error:

self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(options, executable_path=r"C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")

TypeError: init() got multiple values for keyword argument 'executable_path'

class BaseTestCase(object):


        def setUp(self): 
            options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
            options.add_argument("download.default_directory=os.getcwd()")
            self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(options, executable_path=r"C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
            #self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(options)
            self.driver.maximize_window()
            self.driver.get("https://abcc.com")



        def tearDown(self):
            self.driver.quit()

You are passing "download.default_directory=os.getcwd()" as one string, i.e. the function os.getcwd() is never executed. Change the line to

"download.default_directory={}".format(os.getcwd())

The correct format for initiating the webdriver is:

self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)
