Automation takes time during the code development time, you are confusing between the development time and execution time. What we are doing is, develop automation code and it will take time.

Hi Brother..Your all videos are very helpful for me.In this program, i just write below 2 lines only.Its working properly bro. i.e It does upload the files from our computers by writing this two lines.I think we dont need that much of code lines like pressKey,releaseKey Bro ...

Hi...File upload using robot class in selenium works fine on remote machine but fails when the remote connection is Disconnected/Minimised.. Help me on this

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Yes when the connection itself is gone there is no possibility right. When the upload action is happening the window must be active. Because we are not finding the Windows button and pasting the value of the file path, we are simply pasting it where the control is currently active.

[@lakshmanp.v3795]

@@LearnAutomationOnline Any alternative solution for this ??

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Tell me one thing, the scripts are running in your vm. Will u be performing any other activities during the execution? If not there is no need to minimise the window in that remote machine. Else if u have to perform operations durijng the execution, segregate the upload scenarios alone and run them without interruption. Or else use any Windows automation tools like pywin, auto it or image based tools like sikuli

Selenium advanced concepts : WARNING: Unable to find an exact match for CDP version 110, so returning the closest version found: 109 While running program in eclipse, I am getting this error. Please provide solution sir.

It's just a warning right? does it stop your execution? the issue is version compatibility. cehck this link stackoverflow.com/questions/75114815/unable-to-find-an-exact-match-for-cdp-version-109-so-returning-the-closest-vers

[@Sai-px5dn]

But my file is not uploading sir

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

What's the exception you are facing? The warning u have has no impact on file uploading I guess.

[@MrSundayTalkies]

I have a doubt. How to use for loop to upload different files by clicking upload? If we store the many file locations in an excel file, how to retrieve those names one by one from excel?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

In that case you have to use Apache poi or jxl library to retrieve the file content from Excel. Please refer the data driven testing playlist in my channel. In that I have explained how to take values from excel.

Is this the complete stack trace? I think it's partial. Anyways here's my guess. This exception means you have given any invalid argument to one of the methods. For example, in get method you could have given the url in a wrong manner. Please check that. And as I said before, if you are getting errors, there will be clear mention on which line that errors occured and die to what. Only if I know, I can exactly point out what is the issue.
