How to automate downloads with chromedriver + selenium

I have a Node.js file that looks like this:

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var chrome = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome');

var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
  .withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome())
  .setChromeOptions(new chrome.Options().setUserPreferences(
    { "download.default_directory": dir.join(__dirname, 'extensions')}
  ))
  .build();

driver.get("[URL to Download]")

When I run this, it downloads the item I want, but chrome warns that the file might not be safe: enter image description here

Is there Any way to automatically accept the download or click continue?

There is a download.prompt_for_download preference available for Chrome. Try adding it

var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
  .withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome())
  .setChromeOptions(new chrome.Options().setUserPreferences(
    { "download.default_directory": dir.join(__dirname, 'extensions'),
      "download.prompt_for_download": false
    }
  ))
  .build();
