Is there a way to save a file to a local directory for tester to check once test is executed?

Do you want your tester to check the content of the word document or the text file manually afterwards and only want to be able to save the file locally?

Correct. It would be manual check afterwards. This is because the content I am saving are live data so they change everyday so it is hard to check automatically

Hi there.

I wrote sample test case and added custom captions for steps to explain what and why each step does. Test case uses random site in the internet with popup demonstration.

It works for macOS and Windows,  doing next:

1) Go to site

2) Click on button to open popup

3) Reads content of the popup

4) Writes content to the text file on Desktop. File name  has appended time in the end  to understand  when execution was done.

Locators, used in test case (create new locator and put the code into locator "Advanced View")

//begin of random.button.popup, don't copy this line

page:random;
type:button;
alias:popup;
id:;
name:;
text:;
css:;
target:;
XPath://input[@value='Open a Popup Window'];
ieXPath:;
ffXPath:;
chromeXPath:;
safariXPath:;
edgeXPath:;
window:;
frame://iframe[@name='result1'];
comments:;

//end of random.button.popup, don't copy this line

//begin of random.div.popup_div_text, don't copy this line

page:random;
type:div;
alias:popup_div_text;
id:;
name:;
text:;
css:;
target:;
XPath://div[@class="main"];
ieXPath:;
ffXPath:;
chromeXPath:;
safariXPath:;
edgeXPath:;
window:Popup Example;
frame:;
comments:;

//end of random.div.popup_div_text, don't copy this line

Test case (create new one and put the JSON below to "Advanced  View" after locators  are created):

//start, don't copy  this line
