Filename too long when using download_file

[oooyiyangc]

Hello! I'm very excited to discover this package after using basic Selenium for quite some time and I immediately migrated many of my projects over--really appreciate your effort creating and maintaining this package!

Recently, I'm working on a script to automatically download images after collect their URLs. I'm using the following code block as recommended in other discussions

sb.download_file(full_image_url)
sb.assert_downloaded_file(original_filename)
downloaded_path = sb.get_path_of_downloaded_file(original_filename)

However, I bumped into a filename length issue during download (e.g. [Errno 63] File name too long: 'downloaded_files/img?id=XXXXXX&brightness=0&contrast=0&invert=0&ts=1&cacheable=1&iat=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiXXXXXXXXXXXX.eyJwIjo0OTUwMjg5LCJpYXQiO...) Since the URL to the image is very long, the filename exceeds the max length (255 characters) allowed on my system. Is there any way to assign a filename before/during downloading? Thank you!

You have to use save_file_as() so that you can rename the file to a legal size for your file system:

self.save_file_as(file_url, new_file_name, destination_folder=None)
