Hi All,
It is because of WebDriver cant interact with hidden elements[1].
Selenium FAQ page also providing the same solution that Supun has tried out.
Ex:
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.visibility
= 'visible'; arguments[0].style.height = '1px';
arguments[0].style.width = '1px'; arguments[0].style.opacity = 1",
fileUploadElement);
But we need to clear about whether we can alter the application [ make a
hidden element visible] during a test.
