File upload in Se Builder

[SeleniumBuilder]

Hi,

I am fairly new to Selenium Builder. I was using Selenium webdriver before this.

I was able to quickly upload files in Selenium IDE and webdriver. But when I used 'setElementText', instead of 'type' in Selenium IDE, file upload didn't happen.

The test opened the Windows dialog box but did not enter the text.

Should I do this differently?

Thanks.

Hi - I am having similar problems - @DavidStark are you able to help?

Running locally on the old version I can enter text directly as though it was an input box and no dialog opens - all is well:

    {

      "type": "sendKeysToElement",

      "locator": {

        "type": "xpath",

        "value": "//input[@id='signature']"

      },

      "text": "${var_file_folder}\\sig1.jpg"

    },

However, running on the server, the file upload dialog opens and won't close until it fails.

Very frustrating - any thoughts David??

Cheers

Andrew

Well, I can confirm that I can reproduce the problem. The file upload dialog opens and never closes again.

Does anyone have some webdriver code that does the right thing in terms of file uploads?

Hey David

Any further thoughts on this issue? Just wondering if I should get rid of the test as it is ruining my sea of green :)

Hi David,

Webdriver also not support the File upload option. Selenium unable to interact with System related windows
 You need to use third party tools like Sikuli / AutoIT to upload files

Oh right. In which case this may be out of Builder's control. I definitely don't want to embrace-and-extend Webdriver!
