Selenium 4 - Unable to upload a video file using send keys in java selenium 4-CodePudding

This is my upload video function

public void uploadVideo(By locator, String path) {
    WebElement chooseFile = driver.findElement(locator);
    LocalFileDetector detector = new LocalFileDetector();
    ((RemoteWebElement) chooseFile).setFileDetector(detector);
    chooseFile.sendKeys(path);
}

This is an error I am facing while executing, I'm using the above function in my selenium java cucumber framework. This used to work for selenium under the 4 version since we have upgraded to selenium 4 we are facing this issue.

...implies that though the element was identified yet chooseFile.sendKeys(path) failed.

Solution

Wait for the <input> element to be clickable before you attempt to send the file as follows:

public void uploadVideo(By locator, String path) {
    WebElement chooseFile = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(locator));
    LocalFileDetector detector = new LocalFileDetector();
    ((RemoteWebElement) chooseFile).setFileDetector(detector);
    chooseFile.sendKeys(path);
}

This worked !!!!

public void uploadVideo(By locator, String path) throws InterruptedException {
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        WebElement chooseFile = driver.findElement(locator);
        JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
        js.executeScript("arguments[0].style.display='block';", chooseFile);
        chooseFile.sendKeys(path);
    }
