selenium-python Downloading file Error -- Failed -Download Error

Question

I am trying to download files in the selected directory other than the default directory.

 I am getting "Failed -Download Error". 

please help me resolve this. Below is my code.

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"download.default_directory": "C:/Users/xxxx/PycharmProjects//","download.prompt_for_download": False, "download.directory_upgrade": True, "safebrowsing.enabled":True}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="../Drivers/chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("URL")

Answer 1

The path you declared for the default directory is invalid. Either escape the backslashes or provide a literal string.

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
  "download.default_directory": r"C:\Users\xxx\downloads\PycharmProjects",
  "download.prompt_for_download": False,
  "download.directory_upgrade": True,
  "safebrowsing.enabled": True
})
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
