I want to upload a file to automate a process with Selenium IDE from chrome, I already gave the permissions to the extension, however I get the following error yet.
The way I'm loading the file is as follows:
Command: type
id= txtFile
Value: C:\fakepath\factura.xls
Failed:
Unable to upload files due to cross origin frames in the page

ist because of the Fakepath
You need to insert the direct path.
You can look it up by making a left click in the Explorer on the document.
The path should be visible now

My program uses CEF(Chromium Embedded Framework) to implement a simple browser component. I want to use the File System Access API in the CEF to read and write local files but it occurs some problems. https://mburakerman.github.io/file-system-access-api-demo/ is the test page I use to experiment the File System Access API. I used Chrome at first and Chrome behaved well, it read and wrote local files normally. Then I compiled the CEF(The verstion is 96) project and used the cefclient to test whether the CEF also worked well but it could not. CEF could read the local files right but when I clicked the "Save changes" button there was no response and it failed to write the local file I choosed before either. After that I ran the source code of Chromium and CEF to compare the differences in File System Access API. When I was going to write the local file the code of Chromium and CEF ran to the same position as the picture shown below.Chromium and CEF ran to the same position when wrote local files Both of them entered in the DoRequestPermission function. It was very strange that the current_status of Chromium was "ASK" but CEF was "DENIED". The current_status value in CEFThen I checked the stack it showed that the status of the file was initialized at the message dispatch time and I could not find where the status was initialized.The stack of CEF when using File System Access API enter image description hereI wonder why the status in Chromium is "ASK". Does it use some specific command lines or some other methods?
On GitLab while submitting an merge request, Im trying to attach a file from local driver,when I click "Attach a file" button and when I select the file from local it will show up on the text area input.
When I try to automate through selenium, after selecting the file from local drive, I'm unable to attach the file as the input text area doesn't directly have local driver path of where the file is stored.
i.e. : the input text area should contain something like "C\test.PNG" but it has "![test](/uploads/2536727737372/test.PNG"
Is there a way we can still automate this scenario?
You can element.sendkeys the file path directly to "Attach a file" button element, and the file should get uploaded.
WebElement attachAFile = driver.findElement(By.id("attachAFile"));
attachAFile.sendKeys("C\\test.PNG");
No need of clicking the "Attach a file" button to upload the file!
How can handle Window Open File dialog (set file path and import) using javascript (or some other way) in Selenium ?
If you are trying to upload a file, and the page in question uses the standard upload mechanisms provided by HTML, you can do this directly with Selenium itself. The standard HTML mechanism is with an <input type=‘file’> element. Once you’ve found that file upload element on the page, you can use element.sendKeys(“full/path/and/file/name/here”);. This is documented in Step 10 of the algorithm for the Element Send Keys command of the W3C WebDriver Specification, and is used in several file upload tests in the Selenium project’s test code (example).
//set file path
driver.findelelment(By.Xpath("//input[contains(#type,'file')]")).SendKeys(UploadFilePath);
Steps: open the Browser > enter URL http://seleniumhq.org >
Click Download tab > click Download version “2.46.0” link
It opens a dialog window. Click “Save File” button
Note: I have tried download *.xls file example code from URL: http://seleniumeasy.com/selenium-tutorials/how-to-download-a-file-with-webdriver it is working fine in my system. It automatically handling the dialog box and saving the file in destination location.
But the same code not working to download the *.jar file.
Could you please look into this one and help me to resolve this?
If you are downloading Selenium Standalone Server try this:
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/java-archive");
If downloading selenium java webdriver:
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/zip");

I found the following link
how to handle file downlaod for selenium webdriver for safari
where it is mentioned to use the following code:
dc.setCapability("safari.options.dataDir", "your folder path");
This code needs to give the path in advance.
What should I do if I want the option to prompt the user to input the file path everytime while downloading file?
My path can change for each and every file to be downloaded.
