Not able to click the "Choose File" button in selenium webdriver. The upload window for fi-CodePudding

I was suppose to click a " Choose File " button in a website and it is supposed to open a window that allow me to choose the file but the window doesnot open evenn if i code it to click the element.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\Users\shash\eclipse-wo"); 

WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();

driver.navigate().to("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/upload"); 

Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement uploadPhotoBtn = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='file-upload']")) 

uploadPhotoBtn.click();

after this upload window should open but its not.

CodePudding user response：

<input id="file-upload" type="file" name="file">

The HTML tag type is input instead of click you can directly send the file location to the element.

Code:

    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.navigate().to("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/upload");
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    WebElement uploadPhotoBtn = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='file-upload']"));
    uploadPhotoBtn.sendKeys("C:\\Sample.json");

Output:

Try with Actions, like below:

Imports Required 
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

driver.get("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/upload");
        
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
        
WebElement uploadPhotoBtn = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='file-upload']"));
actions.moveToElement(uploadPhotoBtn).click().perform();
