It Seems there is some issue in xPath which you have created.why are you using //div//form//input[@id='file-5'], you can simply use //input[@id='file-5']

CodePudding user response：

Selenium will not do file upload and download functionalities, those actions are interacting via desktop application. selenium can only do operations which is completely rely on browser. you can only click the the buttons such as upload file, download files. please use sikuli to select files from local storage.

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sikuli/sikuli-api -->

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.sikuli</groupId>
    <artifactId>sikuli-api</artifactId>

</dependency>

in your case you can only click the button, you xpath is

//input[@type='file']
