Not able to upload file using Action.sendkeys() in selenium 3.3

[garvitag...@gmail.com]

Hi I am using selenium 3.3. I need to upload file . Steps to reproduce 

1. there is input box and select file button. i found path for sleect file and passed filename in sendkeys().

2. It gave me error can not focus the element.

3. I used Actions class to first focus on element then use sendKeys(). Its not giving any error ut file is not uploaded.

Here is code :

WebElement myElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 60))

                .until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By

                        .xpath(prop.getProperty("WebElement myElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 60))

                .until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By

                        .xpath(prop.getProperty(".//*[@id='patent-upload-container']/span/input"))));

       Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

        actions.moveToElement(myElement);

        /*actions.click();

       

       actions.sendKeys("M:\\codes\\ipd\\apps\\evsd_documents\\tests\\Glucose_sensors_importable_test10.xlsx");

        actions.build().perform();

        System.out.println("uploaded file");"))));

Note : i have commented click because it clicks element and opens window dialog box. Means xpath is correct. I dont know why send keys is not working.  Below is html code for select file:

The Same problem i am facing in my application as well...Anyone can help me in this?

Just curious, why do you have to moveToElement before sendKeys? Usually, once I find the element (and able to click on it) I can sendKeys to it without moving to element. So myElement.sendKeys(...)

I guess you click the input is not the "file" input element,  it could be the first one under the span <input type="hidden">.   Suppose your real <input type="file"> should be hidden and you can't click it anymore. change the XPATH to the second input and try it.

Hi Murali,

I was getting this error because developers had used jasny bootstrap in code. Its purpose is to give look good factor to page, but it makes your element hidden. Its visible on screen but findElement does not work as in html there are layers above this element.

This can be fixed using jquery by removing that jasny bootstrap.

Hi Garvita,

Thank you so much for your response..!!

I was communicated with developers for the same..hey are also unable to help me in this scenario and said that we are used Bootstrap script.

Could you please help me how can we proceed with 'jasny bootstrap'?

Thanks in Advance..!!

Best Regards,

MuraliKrishna V.

Hi Murali,

Can you try using below:

JavascriptExecutor js1 = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

        js1.executeScript("$('.fileinput.fileinput-new input:file').appendTo($('.btn.btn-default.btn-file'));");

        js1.executeScript("$('.btn.btn-default.btn-file).remove();");

Idea is to move this input element just below main div so that it can be visible. And then use sendKeys() to send file path.

Hi Garvita,

Thank you so much for your response.

I have tried by using script that you provided...But unable to reproduce the 'Upload' functionality..

The below code snippet that i used in my driver script.

(a) 

executor.executeScript("$('.fileinput.fileinput-new input:file').appendTo($('.btn.btn-default.btn-file'));");

executor.executeScript("$('.btn.btn-default.btn-file').remove();");

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#AffidavitFileName")).sendKeys("C:\\Users\\User1\\Desktop\\Testing\\Test.jpg");

(b)

executor.executeScript("$('.fileinput.fileinput-new input:file').appendTo($('.btn.btn-default.btn-file'));");

executor.executeScript("$('.btn.btn-default.btn-file').remove('btn-file');");

WebElement upld = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='AffidavitFileName'] "));

upld.sendkeys("C:\\Users\\User1\\Desktop\\Testing\\Test.jpg");

(c)

String imgpath = "C:\\Users\\User1\\Desktop\\Testing\\Test.jpg";

executor.executeScript("$('.fileinput.fileinput-new input:file').appendTo($('.btn.btn-default.btn-file'));");

executor.executeScript("$('.btn.btn-default.btn-file').remove();");

WebElement upld = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='AffidavitFileName']"));

upld.sendKeys(imgpath);

(d)

 And i have tried by using different locators like By.name,By.Id, By.classname etc...still i am getting error

Please find the  error message below :
