Hi all,
I am working in Selenium based UI automation testing for the UES. In the
scenario which I am working on, I need to upload an image when I click on a
button. The code for the functionality as follows.
*HTML:*
<!-- this entire form is hidden --><form method="post"
id="ues-dashboard-upload-banner-form" action="/path/to/form"
class="hidden">
<input type="file" id="file-banner" name="banner" accept="image/*" />
...</form>
<div class="ues-banner-placeholder">
<button type="button" id="btn-edit-banner" class="btn
btn-primary">Edit</button>
...
</div>
*Javascript:*
(function() {
var initBanner = function() {
// clicking the edit button will trigger the click event of
the input[type=file] field and opens the file browser
$('.ues-banner-placeholder').on('click', '#btn-edit-banner',
function(e) { $('#file-banner').click();
});
// once the value of the input[type=file] field changed,
do some processing
document.getElementById('file-banner').addEventListener('change',
function (e) {
...
});
...
}
initBanner();
...
})();
Here when I tried to automate the functionality using Selenium, seems like
it cannot manipulate the file browser. Instead they are suggesting to
inject the path of the file directly into the input[type=file] field as
below.
driver.findElement(By.id("file-banner")).sendKeys(Keys.DELETE);
driver.findElement(By.id("file-banner")).sendKeys(pathToFile);
But this works only when the form field is visible. While it is hidden,
Selenium gives the following exception.
org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently
visible and so may not be interacted with
