I was able to successfully download a file with puppeteer, but it was just saving it to my /Downloads folder. I've been looking around and can't find anything in the api or forums to set this location.
My downloads are basically just go going to the link:
await page.goto(url);

Setting up a download path and reading from the disk _client API which gives us access to all the functions of the underlying developer console protocol. Basically, it extends Puppeteer's functionality. Then we can download the file by clicking on it.
Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol.
This is how you can set the download path in latest puppeteer v0.13.
await page._client.send('Page.setDownloadBehavior', {behavior: 'allow', downloadPath: './myAwesomeDownloadFolder'});
The behaviour is experimental, it might be removed, modified, or changed later.
Pst, you can try more tricks listed here, on your own risk :).
