如何从子文件夹访问文件，该子文件夹位于最近使用python创建或修改的文件夹中？

Question

I am performing web test automation using selenium Webdriver. I am pretty much new to python and Web test. The question is : I want to write a Python code that automatically opens the files in following way:

"C:\\Software\\" this path has many folders like

C:\Software\ 
          AB_101_B1\
                AB_101_B1\
                    *.bin
                    *.hex
                    *.hex
                AB_101_B1.zip

          AB_101_B2\
               AB_101_B2\
                   *.bin
                   *.hex
                   *.hex
               AB_101_B2.zip

          AB_102_B1\
               AB_102_B1\
                   *.bin
                   *.hex
                   *.hex
               AB_102_B1.zip
          ...

         AB_103_B7\
               AB_103_B7\
                   *.bin
                   *.hex
                   *.hex
               AB_103_B1.zip

Here AB_103_B7 is latest created or modified folder. Each folder contains one subfolder with same name as main folder(eg:AB_103_B7) and one ZIP folder (AB_103_B7.zip). The subfolder and ZIP folder contains 3 files with different extensions(Example: .bin, .hex , .hex)

I want to access latest modified or created folder then automatically upload files from this subfolder and also upload zip folder into Website.

Note: The main folder " AB_* " keeps updating. So code must detect the latest folder either by name or by modified time. I could directly upload file by setting directory, Example: driver.find_element_by_id('abc').send_keys("C:\\software\\AB_103_B7\\AB_103_B7\\test.bin") . But my problem is to access the latest folder.

Could any help me with coding in python? I checked os.walk() from other questions. I am confused about what should be written for dirname, subdirs, files .

Answer 1

Try this code and let me know in case of any issues:

import os
path = "C:\\Software\\"
latest_modified_folder = ''
time_of_modification = 0

for root, subdirs, files in os.walk(path):
    for subdir in subdirs:
        if os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(root, subdir)) > time_of_modification:
            time_of_modification = os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(root, subdir))
            latest_modified_folder = os.path.join(root, subdir)

for file_ in os.listdir(latest_modified_folder):
    # I'm not sure about how you want to upload all files from folder, so...
    driver.find_element_by_id('abc').send_keys(os.path.join(latest_modified_folder, file_))
