Anybody any idea abt how to select upload file in webdriver

Hi All,

Any body having sample code on uploading file in web driver.If so then plz paste the code.

Hi Arahant,

You can try with the following 3 lines of code :-

1)driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='file']")).clear();
2)driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='file']")).sendKeys("D:\\Selenium\\My Automation Works\\Salesforce");
3)driver.findElement(By.xpath("//[@id='editPage']/div/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[2]/input")).click();

//*[@id='file'] => xpath of the Browse field.
D:\\Selenium\\My Automation Works\\Salesforce => Path of the file you want to upload.
//[@id='editPage']/div/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[2]/input => xpath of the upload button.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks and regards

Hi Sitam,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried with provided code but not succeeded .The issue is

1)driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='file']")).clear(); ----> For this throwing error is Element must be user-editable in order to clear it.

If you comment above line then issue is in browser

Server Error in '/PRO_V1' Application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Can you share the link of that webpage containing that uploading ?
or else if it is a live project, share the screen shot of the upload portion of the page.

Thanks

Hi,

I tried to upload screen shot but unable to upload the file, saying that file should not more than 0 kb.Leave that .

would like to explain here.

That web page is having browse button,if you click on it.The upload file
path will open and select whichever file or image wish to select and
say ok on file path window that image path will placed in web
application which has upload button,once if you click on upload
button.The uploaded file will save automatically in admin section. (I
think this process will be having all most all web applications).


This scenario i need to handle in web driver. I hope you understood.In case if not please revert back the message.

Hi Arahant,

Try the following snippet :-

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;


public class File_upload {




public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("http://www.sendspace.com/");

File file = null;

try {
file = new File(File_upload.class.getClassLoader().getResource("file.txt").toURI());
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Assert.assertTrue(file.exists());

WebElement browseButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='upload_file']"));
browseButton.sendKeys(file.getAbsolutePath());


}

}

Thanks
