File upload functionality is not working with Robot class in Linux OS

[shruthi v v]

Hello Group,

 I am trying to automate file upload control for uploading image files in Linux operating system but file upload is not working. Here Test will execute successfully but when I open my web page there no files are getting attached.

I can not visualize the execution as this test is running on Linux machine from Jenkins. Same piece of code is working fine on windows machine. Please help 

Here is my code

 //To upload multiple files at a time

                String img="/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/ShruthiTest/workspace/NewTestNg/ImageUploadsFile/images (1).jpg";

                StringSelection sel = new StringSelection(img);

// Copy to clipboard

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(sel,null);

System.out.println("selection clipboard" +sel);

// This will click on Browse button

driver.findElement(By.id("imageFileLabel")).click();

System.out.println("Image upload window is now opened");

Thread.sleep(1000);

// Create object of Robot class

Robot robot = new Robot();

Thread.sleep(1000);

                System.out.println("Robot class initiated");

// Press Enter

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

Thread.sleep(1000);

                System.out.println("Robot hit enter");

// Release Enter

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

Thread.sleep(1000);

                System.out.println("Robot Release enter");

       // Press CTRL+V

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);

Thread.sleep(1000);

                System.out.println("Robot copy");

// Release CTRL+V

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);

Thread.sleep(1000);

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

//Press Enter

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
