I would like to download file in excel with selenium edge web driver in specific custom folder in java selenium?

Question

HashMap<String, Object> edgePrefs = new HashMap<>(); edgePrefs.put("download.default_directory", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\Download-Files"); edgePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0); edgePrefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.automatic_downloads", 1); // Set EdgeOptions EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();

options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", edgePrefs);

I have tried this way, but setExperimentalOption shows error: The method setExperimentalOption(String, HashMap<String,Object>) is undefined for the type EdgeOptions

Hi @Saikat Das,

Please note you may not be using the latest version of Java Selenium. Please install the latest version in the official download page. In Selenium 4, setExperimentalOption should be defined as expected.
