Downloads a publicly shared Google Drive folder as a Zip bundle.

Runs a Cypress test specification to automate the browser to perform the following steps.

• Visit the Google Drive shared folder page.
• Click the Download all link and wait for Google Drive to prepare the Zip file link.
• Downloads and tracks the progress of the file download(s), stops after the file(s) have downloaded.

Note:

For big folders, Google Drive prepares multiple Zip files. This service downloads all of them.

Workflow is Docker based, so either utilize the full image prepared by the Cypress team (convenient, but big image) or build a custom image, usign the provided Dockerfile and execute it (smaller image size).

The service requires the Google Drive folder Id. The folder Id is part of the shared URL. E.g.

Shared URL: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/28sjdTTTjsvsz1TTKdfasd?usp=sharing
Folder Id -> 28sjdTTTjsvsz1TTKdfasd

Also, an optional variable max_download_time_seconds, can be passed to increase the total run time beyond the default 30 mins, if downloading big files on a slow network. The service ends as soon as the download is complete OR terminates if this max time limit is reached (default: 30 mins).

A convenient option is to utilize the full bundled image prepared by the Cypress team, with Cypress and browsers pre-installed. The image is available on Docker Hub. The image size is 1.5 - 2 GB.

Executing the following from project root, should download and place the Zip file(s) in the cypress/downloads folder.

$ docker run --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/e2e \
    -w /e2e \
    -e CYPRESS_drive_folder_id=XXX \
    -e CYPRESS_max_download_time_secs=1800 \
    cypress/included

A Dockerfile is included in the project to build a container image. This build installs no browsers, but utilizes Electron. The following command can be used to build the image.

$ docker build -t localhost/google-drive-dwnldr .

And the built image can then be executed as follows. Remember to mount the folder where you want the Zip file downloaded.

$ docker run --rm \
    -v $(pwd)/cypress/downloads:/app/cypress/downloads \
    localhost/google-drive-dwnldr run --env drive_folder_id=28sjdTTTjsvsz1TTKdfasd
