uploading a file

[vishnu vasudev]

Hi Experts,

I would like to upload a file to a site from the laptop which i have installed robot framework.

i have used the below keyword

Choose File xpath=//*[@id="attach-file"]/div[1]/fieldset/div/div/label C:/Users/SRN/Downloads/NEALLOCATION${allocations}.png

But its not working with error below

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot focus element

  (Session info: chrome=51.0.2704.103)

  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.19.346078 (6f1f0cde889532d48ce8242342d0b84f94b114a1),platform=Windows NT 6.1 SP1 x86_64)

is there any thing wrong in my command which would have caused this to fail

Regards

Vishnu

Hi,

From you locator I can say that you try to upload file to the label however it should be input[@type=‘file]  

Thanks, 

Dmitriy

Hi,

I would suggest keep this .png file in your automation framework folders.. then used relative path to choose expected file from respective folder.

 Assume Script folder name : Project1

e.g.  Choose File xpath=//*[@id="attach-file"]/div[1]/fieldset/div/div/label  input[@type='Project1/../InputFiles/NEALLOCATION${allocations}.png']

Hi Vishnu,

Do you mean input[@type='C:/Users/SRN/Downloads/NEALLOCATION${allocations}.png]  where file = C:/Users/SRN/Downloads/NEALLOCATION${allocations}.png.

So now the Keywoprd would be 

Choose File xpath=//*[@id="attach-file"]/div[1]/fieldset/div/div/label input[@type='C:/Users/SRN/Downloads/NEALLOCATION${allocations}.png] 

I tried doing this but it did not work. Can you please help me asap. Thanks

Hello nitish,

I have similar problem, mine passed but it was not able to attach file. but in the log file it shows passed.

Keywords.Attached file   ${LeaveRequestbtnChooseFile}     input[@id='C:\\Users\\Christian Tan\\Documents\\Development\\Salttest\\Resources\\attachment.jpg']

Attached file
    [Arguments]  ${PELEM}   ${filepath}
    choose file    ${PELEM}   ${filepath}

I have similar issue with choose file where my test will pass but no attachment

[Mandi B.]

You need to pass two arguments to the 'Choose File' keyword - the element and the file path. 

1. The element - you need the element locator to the input tag. Inspect the 'Browse' button (or 'Choose File' button) on the page that you are working on and locate the <input> tag.

Get the locator to that input tag. 

In the screenshot, you can see that the 'Choose file' element in my case has an <input> tag with an id of file-upload
2. The actual file path (you can use RF built-in paths to help here) 

So the actual syntax to upload a picture I have in my project workspace to this site would be: 

Choose File   id:file-upload  ${CURDIR}${/}picture.png

As it was mentioned before in this thread, this method works when the element has an input tag. If not, you need to use AutoIT (or Sikuli) library. 

[Christian Rudolf Tan]

the attachment failed to upload.

any ways. what is inside ${CURDIR}?

[Stefan M.]

Try then 

Choose File  id:file-upload  C:\\Users\\Christian Tan\\Documents\\Development\\Salttest\\Resources\\attachment.jpg

thanks its now working!
