Hi, how can we upload multiple files at once into remote machine … plz help me with this

[@letcode]

Same concept, With comma seperate you can multiple values.

[@meenatandia6529]

Why for me , it is not taking the path while uploading ... i created one folder inside eclipse where i put one .csv file ... while trying to upload it is only opening the windowns pop up and not selecting the file ..

[@letcode]

You shouldn't click the upload btn element.

[@meenatandia6529]

I am not clicking it . I am doing the exact thing which u have shown .

[@himats7195]

What if we use sikuli and if we run in remote server will it work

[@letcode]

No, it won't I beleive.

[@VarunKumar-yx5nj]

Then most of them use sikuli to upload files then in that case they can't run there script in remote isn't it?

[@letcode]

Yes bro ☺️

Not able to automate using sendkeys method

[@sijijaison2282]

Thanks Koushik. How to upload multiple file using Robot class if there is no send keys option. As I am getting invalid file when trying to upload multiple files

[@letcode]

Invalid files means, you file path is wrong. Use absolute path that should work. I'll not recommend to use robot class, that's what the video intent is all about. 😀

[@sijijaison2282]

@@letcode Thanks a lot for quick response , but there is no sendkeys option to upload files. Files can be only uploaded through upload window. In that case what is an alternative

[@letcode]

There must be, that is how html works. Just search for //input [@type='file'] This xpath must be there, based on this you can upload files. In some cases it will be hidden, you can use java script executor to change the element style to display.

[@rupamaddukuri7274]

How can I do the same thing in FireFox? I m unable to perform the same thing in FireFox.It is not able to send keys even though I m giving correct xpath.Same code is working in Chrome and ME browser.

[@letcode]

Can u provide some information. Why send keys is not working, it might be a driver issue, or extension locator change.

Setfiledirectory not available in c#, can you please help me on this

[@letcode]

How I upload the file in android and ios devices

[@letcode]

I guess the same, r u facing any issues?

[@swapnilpundir461]

Does this sendKeys function work only on input tag?

[@letcode]

Yes

[@swapnilpundir461]

@@letcode Thanks for such quick revert man. Nice video btw.

[@letcode]

Thank you 😊. Most of the file upload are designed with input tags only. Sometimes we cannot see the input directly with in the element but you can see it with in the DOM somewhere.

How to upload file in headless browser if there is no sendkeys option

[@letcode]

No option other than sendkeys in headless mode.

[@rincyjaison4110]

Thanks for quick response. So only way to execute the automation script is to create a runnable jar out of cucumber maven project?

[@letcode]

Using maven we can execute script. If you want to execute from jar you have to do some configuration.

[@dikshasingh7356]

Hi , could you please explain how to access absolute path from resources folder while running through jar for send keys to upload file

[@letcode]

Hi, ./ Represent the current project folder from there you can navigate to src to resources.

From jar I haven't tried, I'll look into it, if I found something I'll let you know.
