File upload using Selenium RC

[Dinesh Chaminda]

Hi,
I want to do a file upload using Selenium RC and my C# code is as
follows
seleniumsession.Type("id=FileControl","C:\TestFile.doc");

but this didn't work then I tried AttachFile() method and it didn't
work for me too. I'm trying this in IE8 and above browsers
Please help me to resolve this.

Thanks

Hi Mahesh,
Thank you for the reply,
I'm using Selenium.DefaultSelenium currently, I have few question on
WebDriver
1. If I use WebDriver then do I need to remove code I've written for
Selenium.DefaultSelenium? or is it working paralleled?
2. Do you have any sample code which uses WebDriver from the
initialization on words?
3. My current assembly version is 2.21, Do I need a different version
to to try your code?

Thanks in advance

If you use WebDriverBackedSelenium most of your existing code can work as-is.   You will just need to change how your start the session and once you have a driver object use it to create the WebDriverBackedSelenium object.

Hi Mike,

   Thank you for the reply. My Selenium start as follows

I first initialize Selenium.DefaultSelenium

private Selenium.DefaultSelenium seleniumSession;

Than launch the browser with the URL, server port, server host and the browser string (IE, Crome, etc..) parameters

 seleniumSession = new DefaultSelenium(ServerHost, ServerPort,

                BrowserString, BrowserURL);

then after that I'm using  seleniumSession object to operate selenium.

Do you have a sample code which is using  WebDriverBackedSelenium  with Selenium.DefaultSelenium that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mike,

    Now that I updated the binaries in my selenium project and now I'm using selenium 2.0 and using you sample code but tweak a bit to suite to my requirement. Now the file upload is working file however I got a new issue in selecting drop down list. In earlier version I used DefaultSelenium session Select method which was worded fine. Now it's not working. It's giving me following error message,

System.InvalidOperationException: An error occurred executing the click atom (UnexpectedJavaScriptError)

   at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse) in c:\Projects\WebDriver\trunk\dotnet\src\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver.cs:line 993

Do you have any workaround for this? if so please help me.

Thanks

Yes, a few things don't work as expected, so I have wrapper routines that implement them using pure WebDriver methods.  If you do a search you will find examples of how to take screen shots that I and others have posted using the Augmenter class.

Here is the one I use for drop downs.  Note that it uses a By class locator method as an argument:

    /**
     * This method is used to select a particular item from a drop-down list on
     * a web page.  It is designed to make it simpler to handle drop-down lists
     * on web pages.  It does three things:
     * <ol>
     * <li>Wait for the list element to be present on the page for helper.timout
     *     seconds.</li>
     * <li>Selects the list item that matches <i>valueString</i> in the list.</li>
     * </ol>
     * @param ByLocator The locator for a drop-down list.
     * @param valueString The value string you wish to have chosen.  It must not
     *                    start with "value=", but should just be the value by
     *                    itself.
     * @throws Exception Any exception due to the element not being present, etc.
     * @see By
     * @see By#className(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#cssSelector(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#id(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#linkText(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#name(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#name(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#partialLinkText(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#tagName(java.lang.String)
     * @see By#xpath(java.lang.String)
     */
    public void selectFromDropDown(By ByLocator, String valueString)
            throws Exception
    {
        Select select;

        waitForElementPresent(ByLocator, timeout); // Wait until present
        select = new Select(driver.findElement(ByLocator));
        select.selectByValue(valueString);
    }   // selectFromDropDown(String locatorString, String valueString)
