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

[chaya shetty]

Hi,

 I tried as said...Even then I am facing the same problem.

Code Used:

$path = "C:/Watir/file.txt"

 $ie.file_field(:name,"srcfile").set($path)
 $autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")

 $autoit.WinWait("Choose file", "Do you want to open or save this file?", 3)

 $autoit.WinActivate("Choose file")

 $autoit.WinWait("Choose file", "Look &in", 3)

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

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

 $ie.button(:name, "Open").click
    The file field highlights(yellow)and opens choose file dialog along with another ruby file with contents:

#
#  setFileDialog.rb
#
#
# This file contains the file dialog when it runs as a separate process

$LOAD_PATH <&! lt; File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..'))
puts $LOAD_PATH
require 'watir/winClicker'

filepath = "invalid path passed to setFileDialog.rb"
filepath = ARGV[0] unless ARGV[0] == nil

clicker= WinClicker.new
clicker.setFileRequesterFileName(filepath)
clicker = nil

 

 Then it waits for me to manually select the file and attach.

I have ensured that the path is correct and there is a text file viz. file in the Watir folder.

 

Thanks,

Chaya

Replace all your $autoit lines with this:

 

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

    $autoit.WinWait("Choose file", "Do you want to open or save this file?", 3)

    $autoit.WinActivate("Choose file")

    $autoit.WinWait("Choose file", "Look &in", 3)

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

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

 

I don’t know if it will make a difference but my script needed the WinWait’s left in to work right.  Also, it took a little time for autoit to find the window so don’t get impatient.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi,

  There is only one file field in the page and hence I tried with 

   path = "C\:Watir\Text.doc"

    ie.file_field(:index,1).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

 

B! ut still the same behaviour was seen.

The file field was accessed and the "Choose File" window opened and waited till I manually selected the file.

 

Thanks

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 me! thod 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,

How can I open and attach file using file_field method?

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
