    await driver.get("http://demo.automationtesting.in/FileDownload.html");

      .findElement(By.id("textbox"))

    await driver.findElement(By.id("createTxt")).click();
 
    //To click on "Download" link
    await driver.findElement(By.id("link-to-download")).click();

    await driver.sleep(5000);
  } catch (e) {

  await driver.quit();
