Can we automate file upload in Selenium?
I mean upload file with file upload control and submit it.
What happens when I use WebDriver.SendKeys(Keyboard.LeftShift)
What I want is to automate file uploading from a web form using Selenium in C#. I'm using windows 7 (8 if it matters), Firefox 9 and Visual Studio 2025. You can call WebElement.SendKeys() which will open the dialog for you, but after that it will need some manual interaction to select the files, click upload, etc. The problem is that WebDriver already supports only 2-3 file uploaders (eg the default file uploader in browsers and the file upload dialog in older versions of IE).
It's not possible to automate the upload of a file using Selenium Webdriver, however, you can use the Firefox extension Selenium Uploader (). It lets you select a file and upload it using Selenium Webdriver.
How to handle file open dialog in Selenium WebDriver?
I would like to handle the file open dialog for a certain filetype, eg ".
Docx".
I have tried to do this by using the following code snippet: from selenium import webdriver. Driver = webdriver.Chrome() filepath = "./a.txt"
Driver.get("") driver.findelementbyid("q").sendkeys("pdf")
Driver.findelementbyid("btnG").click()
Driver.findelementbyid("lstJsonResult0").sendkeys(path)
The result is that the dialog is opened, but the following error happens: Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:Selenium Filesa.py", line 11, in
File "C:Usersk.cristiAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37-32libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverremotewebelement.py", line 586, in sendkeys
self.execute(Command.SENDKEYS, )
File "C:Usersk.py", line 633, in execute return self.parent.execute(command, params)
File "C:Usersk.cristiAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37-32libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverremotewebdriver.py", line 321, in execute
self.errorhandler.checkresponse(response)
File "C:Usersk.cristiAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37-32libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverremoteerrorhandler.
