Is it possible to trigger a file download on button click using k6-browser?

Feature Description

Hello k6-browser team,

I'm currently exploring the capabilities of k6-browser for browser automation and performance testing. I have a scenario where I need to simulate a user clicking a button that triggers a file download. The file should ideally be downloaded to the local machine where the k6 test is running.

Is this currently possible with k6-browser? If so, could you provide an example or guidance on how to achieve this? If not, is this a feature that could be considered for future development?

Here’s a simplified example of what I’m trying to achieve:

// ...

export default function () {
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  const page = context.newPage();

  page.goto('https://example.com/download-page');
  page.click('button#download-button');

  // Wait for the file to be downloaded
  // How can I verify that the file has been downloaded to the local machine?

  browser.close();
}

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards
