It looks like you are using SWFUpload a flash based utility that
allows for some special upload capabilities (set the file extensions,
multiple files, etc) This means it's using non standard upload
controls.
You MIGHT be able to work around it by overriding the hidden values,
but the other option would be to automate at the UI level. I can't
say what would work best for this on a Mac, but on the Windows side,
the RAutomation gem makes pretty short work of that upload window.
require 'rautomation'
$browser.div(:id, 'theme_uploader').object.click #this
'object' is the SWFUpload flash 'search' button that launches the
SFWUpload 'select file(s) to upload...' window
window = RAutomation::Window.new :title => /Select file/
window.text_field(:class => "Edit").set('C:\sandbox\QAAuto\Image
\Image\spicy_728x90.gif')
window.button(:value => "&Open").click
