How to set download dir using puppeteer-extra-plugin-user-preferences

[kailashkrish]

puppeteer.use(require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-user-data-dir')()) puppeteer.use(require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-user-preferences')({prefs: { download: { prompt_for_download: false, default_directory: OUTDIR, } } })). This wasn't successful. Any idea to set download behaviour at browser level. Btw great wrapper for puppeteer.

This worked for me.

import * as UserPreferencesPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-user-preferences';
puppeteer.use(UserPreferencesPlugin({
  userPrefs: {
    download: {
      prompt_for_download: false,
      default_directory: '/tmp',
    },
    webkit: {
      webprefs: {
        default_font_size: 22
      }
    }
  }
}));

Assuming that what @leblancmeneses provided (thanks!) works I'm gonna close this issue now. :)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me and I'm becoming crazy...

this worked for me, using puppeteer extra with a puppeteer-extra-plugin-user-preferences plugin

const UserPreferencesPlugin = require("puppeteer-extra-plugin-user-preferences");

const downloadImageDirectoryPath = process.cwd()

puppeteer.use(
  UserPreferencesPlugin({
    userPrefs: {
      download: {
        prompt_for_download: false,
        open_pdf_in_system_reader: true,
        default_directory: downloadImageDirectoryPath,
      },
      plugins: {
        always_open_pdf_externally: true,
      },
    },
  })
);
