如何从Selenium Webdriver Java中的文件夹上传图像

Question

I am automating mobile website using selenium. In my test case I need to upload image. There is one camera image with id addimage on click of which file upload popup is shown. Check images of this flow

HTML code for this :

<div class="clearfix">
    <ul id="imageList"> </ul>
   <div id="uploadimginput">
       <a id="addimage" class="sprite camera"> </a>
   </div>
   <input id="image" class="w0" type="file" name="image">
</div>

Multiple image upload :

From file upload popup i want to open a folder "testimages" and then select an image.

How can I do this in selenium java.

Answer 1

Don't click on the image itself so that the popup will not appear.

In your html code there should be an input element with type file. In your Selenium test you can find the input element and fill it with the path of the image you want to add. Then submit the form around the input element.

The Selenium framework will handle the rest for you. For me it works fine with all browsers.

I think its a cleaner solution than simulation a keyboard.

Answer 2

From what I can see, this is a Window dialog box and it is out of the context of browser, and hence can't be automated directly by Selenium. Hence, you will have to use Robot/Sikuli/Autoit for that.

Below code is the way by using "Robot class" . For using this, do import all the classes from "java.awt package" namely java.awt.Robot, java.awt.event.KeyEvent, java.awt.Toolkit, java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection, java.awt.AWTException alongwith the rest necessary imports:

Edited the Code for multiple file upload (Works in FF, IE and Chrome):

//Code for clicking on the image button that brings up the window dialog box
  ...

//Putting all the absolute paths of the pics to upload(here, 3 files)
String arr[] = {"\"D:\\Pic1.jpg\"", "\"D:\\Pic2.jpg\"", "\"D:\\Pic3.jpg\""};

//Copying the path of the file to the clipboard     
StringSelection photo = new StringSelection(arr[0]+arr[1]+arr[2]); //Putting the path of the image to upload
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(photo, null);

//Pasting the contents of clipboard in the field "File name" of the Window Pop-up
Thread.sleep(5000); //Some sleep time to detect the window popup
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

//To Click on the "Open" button to upload files
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
