Python-检索浏览器页面的文件 <input type=“file”> 通过文件路径（或任何替代方法）

Question

I'm trying to automate uploading a file into a browser page through Python in Terminal. The browser page's code has

<input type="file" id="upload_input"/> 

which opens an OS level dialog box, where I'm getting stuck. Is there a way to somehow override the OS level dialog box that opens by pointing it to a filepath or any alternative using Python? I'm overriding because I've been using Selenium to interact with the browser page and my code gets stuck here, where I have to interact with an OS level dialog box.

Note: the page isn't my page so I can't go in and change the html code.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try this:

driver.find_element_by_id("upload_input").send_keys(r"C:\path_to_file.txt")
driver.find_element_by_id("submit_button").click()

Answer 2

If the test file is located in the same folder as your test script you can use the following:

driver.find_element_by_id('upload_input').send_keys(os.getcwd()+"/testupload.xlsx")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('input[type="submit"]').click()

In this case, os.getcwd() locates the 'current working directory' which is where the test script is located. I add the filename with string concatenation, you can use the same method to add for instance a directory. Unlike explicit file paths (such as C:\\temp\\myfile.txt), this way will work regardless of your OS as long as the relative file structure is the same across the machines.
