I am trying to test an Extjs 4 application that has a file upload. The test is written in selenium. The component is a Ext.ux.form.FileUploadField. And it works fine when the user clicks the browse button and selects the file.
However when this is done by selenium using sendkeys, or even when you paste the value in the field, then the upload no longer works.
I noticed that on server side the content length is no longer properly received.
Any fixes, workarounds for this problems?

So I'm currently working on a new project and I need to write some automated tests.
I came across a problem and I don't know how to fix it. If the button of my web page is clicked running selenium it doesn't perform any actions, but if I open the web page manualy and click on the button, everything works fine.
NOTE: I'm completely sure that the xpath is correct and the button is being clicked...
This is what happens running with selenium:
And this is what happens openning the web page manually and clicking on the button:
I'm using Chrome to get the HTML of a webpage which is generated by javascript. The applescript which does all this needs to run every 2 minutes. Everything is working perfectly, except that I obviously need Chrome to do this completely in the background. My script contains the following uses of Chrome (as well as a block to set theTab, which doesn't seem to ever cause Chrome to come to the front):
set URL of theTab to theURL
set isLoading to (loading of theTab)
execute front window's active tab javascript javascriptLocation
set theSource to execute front window's active tab javascript "document.documentElement.outerHTML"
Putting this line:
tell application "Finder" to set visible of process "Google Chrome" to false
after each of the above lines either produces no hiding at all, or at best Chrome flashes onscreen and then goes away. I find this very distracting.
Is there any way to have an application run reliably and permanently in the backround? Or, failing this, is there an invisible way to get javascript executed server-side so an applescript can get hold of its generated source?
Chrome 66.0.3359.181 running on Mac OS 10.11.6, Applescript 2.5.
The following is not an answer to the question I posted, but it is an answer to the problem I was trying to solve which is why I posted the question.
As stated in my question, I need to get hold of the HTML which some javascript generates on a site (which is not under my control). I can't do a client-side scrape because of CORS restrictions on the site. I tried the cross-domain tools listed here and couldn't get them to work.
So I was using Chrome's applescript command, execute, to first execute the javascript (to produce the HTML), and then a second time to grab hold of the HTML with document.documentElement.outerHTML. But having Chrome flash onto the screen every 2 minutes throughout the day was doing my head in.
Turns out Chrome can also run in headless mode, from the command line, and just happens to have an option to run javascript and return the generated HTML!
So my code got a whole lot simpler and I don't have to have Chrome in my apps list all the time. Happy coder am I :-)
Here's the one line that gets me the HTML generated on the site I need:
set theSource to (do shell script ((quoted form of POSIX path of googlePath) & " --headless --dump-dom " & theURL))
Thanks, once again, #matt. I'd never heard of headless mode and would never have found this without your suggestion of PhantomJS!
I have a webpage where I click on a button and an open dialog it's opened and I should select the file to upload. After that, a pop up is displayed saying OK or KO.
I'm able to upload files when the there are files types. But in this case, the element where I click it's:
<
button type="button" read-file="_.partial(submitLang, selectedLang)" id="import-lang" class="btn btn-default"><
/button>
For the rest of the application, I use this and it works:
WebElement element = getPage().findElementById(id);
element.sendKeys(absoluteFile);
But for button types and button tag it doesn't work.
How can I do it? The tests are running on a Linux machine
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
The whole process is: (see image at http://imageshack.com/a/img540/6237/JoTQng.png)
Click on Import button
A dialog is opened and I select a .json file and click Open
An alert is displayed saying "Text properties have been updated".
We are using angular for the frontend and all are REST calls.
We don't have any "file=type". All three are buttons. You can found more code at

For a file upload with selenium, you need to find an input tag with the type "file".
Have a look at your HTML and search for it.
When you found it, the rest is pretty straightforward:
Let's say this input-element has id="import"
driver.findElement(By.id("import")).sendKeys(absoluteFile);
If you run into problems, please post more of your HTML, then I can have a look at it.
In my case, clicking on the button made an element appear in the HTML code, I assume due to javascript.
I clicked on the element (which both opens a file upload window and adds the to the HTML), and immediately after send the keys to the input element.
This creates the problem of having to close the newly opened file upload window, however this is not a problem when using --headless mode on google chrome.
I do not have a solution to close this window if you are not in headless mode for your chosen browser.
the biggest issue i'm having is that when i click on a link, i can see the confirmation dialog popup. from this site it says:
NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript confirmations will NOT pop up a visible dialog.
NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript confirmations that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until you manually click OK.
any idea why i'm seeing a popup when i shouldn't be, or how i can click the 'Ok' on it?
edit: when i record the test using the selenium IDE and run it, it handles confirmation boxes fine. when i exported that test case to PHP, it doesn't work. this is without modifying the code -- using purely what was provided by the IDE.
Try to call
chooseOkOnNextConfirmation() function

I started learning how to use Selenium today. I have never used it before. I downloaded the Selenium IDE (1.0.10) plugin for FireFox (3.5.16). The way it's behaving is not matching up to the docs.
When I click the record button and perform actions in my browser, nothing happens in the IDE (nothing is recorded). (Actually, initially it did record, but now it doesn't) I tried restarting FireFox and that had no effect.
Also, the main controls are now inactive. I've included a screen shot to show what I mean by that. The controls remain inactive even it I click or double click on the name of a test case in the panel on the left.
And one final question -- it appears that a Selenium test case mentions Chrome in its default configuration even though the docs say you can only record tests using FireFox. Should I do anything about that?
If anyone can shed light on any of the above mysteries I would appreciate it. Thanks!
UPDATE
I restarted FireFox again and now it's recording actions, but the controls are still greyed-out as in the screenshot, so I can't play back the test.
The issue is that you are not in the HTML runner mode. The IDE has no concept of ruby or python or c# or Java. That is up to plugins which just essentially do a find an replace.
*chrome means Firefox Chrome. Something that has been around for a lot longer than Google Chrome the browser. It means use the browser chrome which removes a couple sandboxing issues.
If you want to play back the tests you can't go out of the table mode otherwise the IDE won't understand what to do. The code in the screenshot should be stored in a .rb file and that should be executed.
Let me try to unravel mysteries -
As soon as you launch the IDE it would be in recording mode. Do you see last Red button which is enabled.
IDE Tests can be executed only when in the selenese/html format (aka table format). I guess you have changed the format to ruby (I guess so), from Option > Format.
To be able to execute tests change it back to html from option > Format > HTML
Take my words, IDE is only and only for firefox
