We often come across scenarios while testing where we have to upload a file. For different UI there are different ways to upload a file. In this blog we are going to explain how to upload file in Selenium with examples. Following pointers will be covered:
Moving on with this article on Uploading a file using Selenium
Uploading a file while automating test scripts is no more a challenge. In this tutorial I will be discussing about the most easiest way of uploading a file using Selenium. In this, we will be using “Sendkeys” to upload the file. A better understanding about Selenium testing can be acquired through the Selenium online course.
Before diving into further details let’s take an example and learn how we can upload a file while automating our scripts using Selenium.
In the above image you can see three things:
Choose File Button: On clicking this button we can choose the file we wish to upload from our machine.
Input type: The Input type of the Choose File button in the above image is of file type.
Upload Button: On clicking, this button upload function is performed.
Note: I would be using an example of edureka where we can upload our image by editing personal details. For this, I need to first login using edureka account. To login, I will be using my username and password, I request you to use yours to practice for the same.
Alternatively, you can check out the Automation Testing Course by Edureka and get certified!
Let’s move forward step by step.
Example
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”,”/Users/ankita/Downloads/chromedriver”);
Example:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Example:
driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/"); driver.findElement(By.linkText("Log In")).click(); driver.findElement(By.id("si_popup_email")).sendKeys("username"); driver.findElement(By.id("si_popup_passwd")).sendKeys("password"); driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"new_sign_up_mode\"]/div/div/div[2]/div[3]/form/button")).click();
On clicking on the highlighted icon above, you will be navigated to the image upload page.
driver.get("https://learning.edureka.co/onboarding/personaldetails"); driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"collapseOne\"]/div/div/div[2]/a/i")).click();
Example:
WebElement chooseFile = driver.findElement(By.id("custom-input")); chooseFile.sendKeys("/Users/ankita/Downloads/edureka.png");
NOTE: If you click on the choose file button, then you will be taken to your machine window to select a file and then you will not be able to select a file using selenium. Hence, you will have to take the help of third tool i.e. either AutoIT or Sikuli.
We will be discussing about them in detail in our other tutorials.
Now, click the upload button:
Example:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“div[class=’submitbtnsec’] > button[type=’submit’]”)).click();
With this uploading of file is done and now the new uploaded image will be seen in your personal details.
Below is the script to perform the above-mentioned steps in Selenium using Java
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait; public class EdurekaUploadTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/ankita/Downloads/chromedriver"); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/"); WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(driver.findElement(By.linkText("Log In")))); driver.findElement(By.linkText("Log In")).click(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(100, TimeUnit.SECONDS); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(driver.findElement(By.id("si_popup_email")))); driver.findElement(By.id("si_popup_email")).sendKeys("username"); driver.findElement(By.id("si_popup_passwd")).sendKeys("password"); driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"new_sign_up_mode\"]/div/div/div[2]/div[3]/form/button")).click(); Thread.sleep(2000); driver.get("https://learning.edureka.co/onboarding/personaldetails"); Thread.sleep(1000); WebElement imageEdit = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"collapseOne\"]/div/div/div[2]/a/i")); imageEdit.click(); Thread.sleep(1000); WebElement chooseFile = driver.findElement(By.id("custom-input")); chooseFile.sendKeys("/Users/ankita/Downloads/edureka.png"); Thread.sleep(1000); driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class='submitbtnsec'] > button[type='submit']")).click(); } }
With this, we come to the end of this article on how to upload file in Selenium. In this tutorial, we have learned about how to upload a file using “Sendkeys” in selenium. The major drawback with this approach is that we can use sendkeys only when the type of the input is of file type or there is an editable text box along with the browse button. In such a case, we can give the absolute path of the file instead of clicking the button provided to choose a file from the machine.
