Re: [Wtr-general] How can I open and attach file using file_fieldmethod?

Yes, the problem is (:value, ‘Value’) in this line:

ie.file_field(:value,'Value').set(#{path})

The file_field supports these attributes: :id, :name, :index. Do a view source and find out what the attribute values for your <input type = file> tag. If for some reason your developers were lazy and didn’t give the tag an id or name attribute, use index. If there are more than one <input type = file> tag on the page the indexing starts top-most down with 1 and increments from there.

Here is the usage portion for file_field from Watir.rb:

# This is the main method for accessing a file field. Usually an <input type = file> HTML tag.

# * how - symbol - how we access the field , :index, :id, :name etc

# * what - string, int or re , what we are looking for,

# returns a FileField object

# Typical Usage

# ie.file_field(:id, 'up_1') # access the file upload field with an ID of up_1

# ie.file_field(:name, 'upload') # access the file upload field with a name of upload

# ie.file_field(:index, 2) # access the second file upload on the page ( 1 based, so the first field is accessed with :index,1)

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I tried with
path = "C\:Watir\Text.doc"

ie.file_field(:value,'Value').set(#{path})

    $autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")

   $autoit.WinActivate("Choose file")

   $autoit.ControlSetText("Choose file", "", "Edit1", "#{path}")

   $autoit.ControlClick("Choose file", "Look &in", "&Open")

    $ie.button(:name, "Submit").click

But the same behaviour persists.

i.e. the "Choose File" window opens and waits till you manually select the file.

Can't ie.file_field(:value,'Value').set(#{path}) automatically set the path?

Thanks

Hi,

when I try,

ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\file.txt')

I get "choose file"-window open .It waits for me, to choose a file and
click "open" or whatever the button is called) , after that it
continues normally, by submitting the file_field content. Why doesn't he choose a file by himself?How do I handle this?

I have ensured that there is no space in the path and the file exists in C: )
I get the same error when I run filefield_test in Unittests in watir folder.

Thanks,

Amitha
