PhantomJS and specifying download directory

Asked by pratik shah on 2013-06-17

Hello everyone --

I'm attempting to download a file using PhantomJS but I need to pass in the directory where I want to store the asset. Similar to profile.set_preference('browser.download.dir', download_path) for FIrefox, is there a way to do this in Phantom?

Its probably not designed (or doesn't natively support) file downloads?

I don't believe file download is currently supported in PhantomJS.

see: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10052
