I am not sure i understood what you are trying to do, but i you can test if the downloaded file exist in the folder.

Testing responses for downloads and inline images
I'm currently using the Laravel and REST api modules in Codeception to test and the tools have been great so far.
I have several routes that return either download or inline images and I currently don't have a strong way of testing, other than checking no errors have occurred.
Ideally I would like to perform a file compare with the result.
Has anyone approached this issue and have any tips on taking this forward?
Thanks

sure, this is my intent but do you know the syntax in codeception to call a REST API where the result is a binary? My testing so far checks the JSON response and HTTP status code. I don't have any reference material on how to handle binaries.

For anyone that stumbles across this in a search, at the moment I am inspecting the response headers. I assert the following are populated correctly:
content-disposition content-length content-type
This is inference as opposed to explicit. When time permits, I'll look at what it takes to perform a binary compare on the downloaded or inline image/file
