node.js - puppeteer - how to set download location

Question

I was able to successfully download a file with puppeteer, but it was just saving it to my /Downloads folder. I've been looking around and can't find anything in the api or forums to set this location.

My downloads are basically just go going to the link:

await page.goto(url);

Answer 1

This is how you can set the download path in latest puppeteer v0.13.

await page._client.send('Page.setDownloadBehavior', {behavior: 'allow', downloadPath: './myAwesomeDownloadFolder'});

The behaviour is experimental, it might be removed, modified, or changed later.

Pst, you can try more tricks listed here, on your own risk :).
