I have a Robot script that logs into a portal and downloads a report. Everything is working as expected, except that the Wait Until Created is failing. The file download should be instant, but I’ve also tried increasing the timeout with no luck.

At this point it’s not even clear if the file is downloading. Ideally I would like to search the entire Docker container for the expected file, but I am new to the Robot Framework so not clear how I do that. Any ideas? Also, any other suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
