Download button from webpage clicked but download was not executed or download event didn't happen about playwright-cli HOT 3 CLOSED

Playwright downloads files into a temporary location using unique names. You need to save them with a friendly name to keep them:

const [download] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForEvent('download'),
  page.click('text="Source code"')
]);
download.saveAs("sources.zip")

You also need acceptDownloads=True in browser.newContext.

I'll update codegen to include that.

I appreciate your response and help. This worked like a charm!

This is the code that worked for me:

# Click Download button
with page.expect_download() as download_info:
    page.click('input[name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$btnExportExcel"]')
download = download_info.value
download.saveAs("tpp_excel.xlsx")
