Uploading File using Selenium WebDriver

Question

How to upload a file using Selenium WebDriver, with the help of Java as the programming Language?

After clicking on a button present on the web application, the application gets open in the new window.

what can I do, to select upload file?

Answer 1

Make sure that the input element is visible on the screen.

You should not click on the browse button, as it will trigger the OS dialogue box and effectively stop the test execution.

You can use the below code:

driver.findElement(By.id("UploadFile")).sendKeys("<absolutePathOfTheFile>");

UploadFile is the Id of the element (i.e. button) and in sendKeys specify the path of the file that is to be uploaded.
