Uploading files if input has no name property set?

[Angel Petrov]

Hello

I am new to geb, and while testing out the upload file functionality, I noticed that it heavily relies on the "name" of the input.
Is there any way to upload a file if the input has no name set?

Regards

Hi,

you are not required to use the name property as identifier in a form. If your navigator object is an input with type file you can simply use that, eg:

$('input[type=file]) = uploadedFile.absolutePath




I actually dont know why they dont indicate this in the manual.



br,


Benny

Thank you for the reply,

I found out you can pass the absolute path to the value of the input for eg:
         $('input',type:'File').value = uploadedFile.absolutePath;

This should certainly be added to the manual.

Angel,

Contributions to the manual are always welcome. And the contributor list is not limited to code contributors which means that you would still get included on in it.

Also, in the future please direct usage questions like this one to the user mailing list at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/geb-user. This is a development list which is not followed by most users and your question and the answer might be useful for somebody on the user mailing list.

As far as I know, the only way would be to forward the message to geb-...@googlegroups.com with a disclaimer at the top.
