在Mac OS上的文件选择器对话框窗口的帮助下，我无法使用Java打开文件

Question

Here is the code which I used on Windows OS.

        String fileToUpload = "\"C:\\development\\projects\\GMailTAbleTest\\1.xlsx\"";
    WebElement uploadButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[16]/div[2]"));
    uploadButton.click(); // This code find and click on button which open file chooser dialog window

StringSelection somestring = new StringSelection(fileToUpload);
        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(somestring, null);
        Robot robot = new Robot();
        robot.delay(3000);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); 

On Mac OS I tried to use VK_META (to simulate a command button) instead of VK_CONTROL. I am using the corresponding UNIX path:

String s ="\"/Users/Yevhenii/Documents/workspace/TableTEstGmail/1.xlsx\"";

Please help me, I have used a Mac for only a few weeks. I have tried to find the solution on the internet before wrote my question here. But I found no solution.

Answer 1

The problem was in a following: mac os have another principle of opening files from open dialog instead of windows. And as for me the easiest way to solve the problem is using robot. So, when we click on our web page button which open, open dialog, we need select them. And we use for this key combination COMMAND + TAB. Realization code are following:

String filePath = "/Users/Yevhenii/Documents/workspace/TableTEstGmail/2.xlsx";
StringSelection somestring = new StringSelection(filePath);
        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(somestring, null);
        Robot robot = new Robot();
        robot.delay(3000);

        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_META);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
        robot.delay(90);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_META);
            TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1); 

Then we need to find our file by path. So when we press SHIFT + COMMAND + G it will opened window with the help of which we can open file by path. Realization code:

 robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_META);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_G);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_G);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_META);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);

The next step is to paste path to our file and it will have following representation:

            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_META);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_META);
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);   
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
        robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
        robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); 

Why we press ENTER(RETURN) two times ? First press accept inputed path and second press accepted selected file)

I really kill many time for solving this problem, maybe the reason, i new on mac os. I hope this information will be interesting and important for you. ))
