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);

Is there any way to upload a file using rebot framework without tag and with the headless mode activated. I tried to use AutoIt and sikuliLibrary but they are not working .
best Regards
If you have an input element, you can use Choose File keyword :
Choose File id=input_id C://document/file.txt
Check the documentation : https://robotframework.org/SeleniumLibrary/SeleniumLibrary.html#Choose%20File
You can upload the file with Selenium by sending the file you want to upload to a special file.
This will work regardless to the headless or regular Selenium mode.
With Python language syntax it will be:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#type='file']").send_keys("the_full_path_to_your_file")
With other languages it will be similar, just with some syntax changes.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='invoiceUploadButton mat-elevation-z1 fileBrowseContainer']")).click();
with this i am able to click on choose file button to upload file.But after it i have a window pop-up to upload respective file. How to upload my file here? It works only in windows machine.
HTML Dom reference
<div class="invoiceUploadButton mat-elevation-z1 fileBrowseContainer">
<span>Choose File</span>
</div>
Try using the sendKeys method to provide the file path and then hit the Upload or Ok button.
addFile.sendKeys("D:\Big Data on AWS\Images\caps.jpeg");
driver.findElement(//Upload button).click();
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
https://i.stack.imgur.com/LNUqH.png
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
I have to automate a scenario like a upload an image from windows explorer to TinyMCE component using Selenium. Since Selenium does not support OS control, I used AutoIt to upload the image.
AutiIt sets the image path to "File name" and seems like it clicks on 'Open' button as well. But the image is not loading to my "source" field.
Here is my Selenium command:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:/XXXXX/src/test/resources/uploadImage.exe");
// Path of the AutoIT script file
AutoIT script:
WinActivate("Open")
Send("C:\LCNGProjects\Screenshots\Images\GifImage1.gif")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{ENTER}")
Refer the attached screenshot
Not sure if I have got the questions correct, Did you compile the script.
Can you please go through link below for script compilation and step by step info how to upload a file.

You do not need to use AutoIt. Auto will make your script dependable on windows machine only.
Instead of it find element using locator(i.e. xpath) of upload button which is having tag as type="file". Now pass this simple sendKeys with absolute path of your image in your machine like below:-
button2.sendKeys("C:\\UsersDesktop\\logo\\Summit-Logo-900px.png");
Or use
System.getProperty("user.dir"));
Append the path of file exluding your project path and filename inside your project
Example :-
button.sendKeys(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\logo\\Summit-Logo-900px.png");
below link contains more option to upload file like below :-
Using SendKeys command.
Using AutoIt scripting.
Using Jacob com interface.

Hope it will help you :)
I'm not going to add full source code here. You can call the AutoIT script using this command inside your test case.
// Call to AutoIT script to upload the image
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\xxxxx\\src\\test\\resources\\uploadImage.exe");
AutoIT Scrip
ControlFocus("Open","","Edit1")
ControlSetText("Open","","Edit1","C:\xxxx\Images\jpgImage")
ControlClick("Open","","Button1")

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");
