how to upload file in headless mode without button tag

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.

Handle Windows Open File dialog in Selenium

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);

automate image upload from windows explore with selenium and AutoIT

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")

Waiting for file to download on selenium grid

I have a test using Webdriver and C# which downloads a file from a website.
When running this test on my local machine it works fine but when I try to run it on Selenium grid it Looks for the file I'm downloading on the hub and not on the node.
Is the anyway of accessing the node file structure to monitor when the file is downloaded.
Sorry if this is unclear.
Thanks
Aidan
It seems, there is no such possibility.. I have also tried to find such functionality, but failed.
But, one way to check it still exists - "upload downloaded". Of course it is workaround and not always you have such function as upload.
Anyway, you may:
download test data
delete test data from page
upload test data on page again
check it was really appeared
It is quite dirty way, but on other hand it allows you to test not only download function, but also upload function.
