Save File popup issue

Issue

I have tried all possibilities by setting profile variables, however the Save dialog in firefox is still appearing every time I try to download a file using my automation framework

Content Type of file which is am trying to download is application/csv (for 1 file, rest are mentioned in below code snipit)

Setup -

Firefox Version - 52.8.0 (64 Bit)

Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'actionpack', '~> 4.2.4', require: false
gem 'activemodel', '~> 4.2.4'
gem 'Ascii85'
gem 'browserstack-local'
gem 'cucumber', '< 2.0.0'
gem 'cukeforker'
gem 'cukeforker-webdriver'
gem 'headless'
gem 'httparty'
gem 'json'
gem 'mysql2'
gem 'nokogiri'
gem 'pdf-reader'
gem 'pry'
gem 'rubocop', '~> 0.52.1', require: false
gem 'selenium-webdriver', '3.6.0' # Best practice: keep in sync with hub version
gem 'site_prism'
gem 'uuid'

env.rb

Before do

  firefox_profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
  firefox_profile['browser.download.dir'] = ENV['ENV_TEMP_PATH']
  firefox_profile['browser.download.folderList'] = 2

  firefox_profile['browser.download.panel.shown'] = false
  firefox_profile['browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force'] = false
  firefox_profile['browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting'] = false
  firefox_profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile'] = 'application/csv, application/octet-stream, text/csv, application/zip, application/pdf, application/xml, application/x-x509-ca-cert'
  firefox_profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = 'application/csv, application/octet-stream, text/csv, application/zip, application/pdf, application/xml, application/x-x509-ca-cert'
  firefox_profile['timeout'] = 480000
  firefox_profile['pdfjs.disabled'] = true
  firefox_profile['resynchronization_timeout'] = 90
  firefox_profile['resynchronize '] = true
  firefox_profile['dom.max_chrome_script_run_time'] = 0
  firefox_profile['dom.max_script_run_time'] = 0


  Capybara.default_selector = :css
  Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements = true
  Capybara.run_server = false
  client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new
  client.timeout = 240

    Capybara.default_driver = :firefox

    Capybara.register_driver :firefox do |app|
      Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :firefox, profile: firefox_profile, marionette: false, http_client: client)
    end

end

Please note -

I have tried following as well

firefox_profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile'] = 'application/csv; application/octet-stream; text/csv; application/zip; application/pdf; application/xml; application/x-x509-ca-cert'
firefox_profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = 'application/csv; application/octet-stream; text/csv; application/zip; application/pdf; application/xml; application/x-x509-ca-cert'

Looking for help from experts in our automation active community

Why are you setting both 'browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile' and ''browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk' to the same mime types? Those are conflicting settings since one is saying to open those file types in the browser and the other is saying to save them to disk (open in browser takes precedence). Also - Firefox 52 was released 2 years ago, may be time to upgrade.

Downloading of files is tested in Capybaras own test suite so you can see the minimal settings required there (obviously adjust mime types as needed) - https://github.com/teamcapybara/capybara/blob/master/spec/selenium_spec_marionette.rb#L13
