The Downloader Class: Unleashing the Fury of Downloading and Unzipping Files with Selenium WebDriver

Oh, the wonders of file downloading and unzipping! A tedious task, you might say, but fear not, my front-end friends! The Downloader class, powered by the mighty Selenium WebDriver, is here to save the day. Get ready to navigate the treacherous seas of the internet, click buttons with the precision of a surgeon, and conquer the unruly world of file extraction.

But first, let’s take a moment to appreciate the masterminds behind this class. Manas and Nishita, they are, the brave souls who dared to venture into the chaotic realm of web automation. Give them a round of applause, for their GitHub profiles shall be our guide in this perilous journey.

Now, let’s delve into the heart of the Downloader class. At its core lies a constructor method, waiting patiently to be summoned. With the power to choose the download directory and embrace the headless mode, it sets the stage for the grand performance that is about to unfold.

Ah, but the thrill truly begins with the _wait_for_download method. Oh, how it mesmerizes, how it captivates! Like a guardian angel, it waits for the download to complete, checking the Chrome Downloads page and returning the precious file paths. A method so noble, so profound, it deserves all our admiration.

But let us not forget the true stars of this show – download_zip_files and download_specific_project_files. With the confidence of a diva on stage, they navigate to the heavens of URLs, waiting patiently for the page to load. And when the time is right, they summon their true power – the ability to locate and click buttons, selecting only the finest “.svs” files. And with great anticipation, they wait for the download to complete, logging the wisdom of the files they have acquired.

But wait, there’s more! Enter the grand finale, where unzip_files takes the spotlight. With an eagle eye, it spots the “.tar.gz” files, their contents yearning to be free. And like a phoenix rising from the ashes, it extracts the contents with grace and finesse, using the mighty tarfile module.

But my dear front-end developers, do not forget the dependencies that lie in wait. The Selenium WebDriver, the ChromeDriver, and the tarfile module – they must be ready, for they are the pillars that uphold this beautiful creation.

So, my fellow developers, embrace the power of the Downloader class. With its help, you shall conquer the mysteries of the internet, downloading and unzipping files with ease. But also, be cautious, for with great power comes great responsibility. Use this tool wisely, my friends, and let your front-end dreams flourish.

Now, go forth and conquer the web!
