connect_over_cdp always download file to tmp folder

[hackerpayne]

I always use existing chrome do my job.

pw.chromium.connect_over_cdp(f'http://127.0.0.1:5566/', timeout=0)

works well.

Most of the time, I operate automatically, but often I need to manually download the results. At such times, the downloaded files end up being stored in a hard-to-find location.

the file always download to tmp folder like :
C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\playwright-artifacts-k8550A\c78a1a06-9d11-4eab-a4ed-d02323dff07e

hope some one can improve this .or is there any ways to set default download path when using cdp connection.

like pw.chromium.launch use downloads_path param to set default download place.
browser=pw.chromium.launch(downloads_path='c:/')

In that case, it would be very convenient.

This path is not intended to be consumed, thats why the file names are also UUIDs. We have a Download API, with which you can get the location, save it to a different location and delete the file. See here: https://playwright.dev/python/docs/downloads

You can also subscribe to the download event:

def handle_download(download: Download):
    download.save_as("...")
    download.delete()
page.on("download", handle_download)

Would that work for you?

Thanks for this code。this code works fine.

but i think add a param like downloads_path would be more convenient.

Anyway thanks very much .
