Selenium -Check if Save File dialog is opened Firefox

Question

My function is that when user click the button, a filed is downloaded. Normally, a dialog from native OS is there to notify you

In the Selenium test, I do not know how to check if such dialog is opened (Indication of file downloaded successfully). I do not want Selenium to download it, just looking for the sign of a successful download

Therre is no direct way from Selenium but you can check if the downloaded file exists in the path Using java.io.File:

File f = new File(filePathString);
if(f.exists() && !f.isDirectory()) { 
    // do something
}

as per How do I check if a file exists in Java?

Added as accepted since if you enable auto download using Firefox Profile, it would work, but if they asking for Save option then this would not work. – Loredra L Mar 17 '17 at 10:45
