无法保存使用 Python Selenium 上传的文件

Question

I am working in Selenium using Python and am working with Chrome. When I get to a section for a picture upload, I do the following:

    pictureChange = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='custom-file' and @type='file']")
    photoLocation = [I enter the file location on my locally mapped drive]
    pictureChange.send_keys(photoLocation)

This seems to work as expected and the picture pops up in an overlay for cropping/zooming before saving the new picture. The overlay is a div class="modal-box" id="croppicModal." I am able to interact with the picture to zoom out and whatnot. But when I click "Save" (either manually or using my program), the new picture does not save. The overlay just goes away and the old picture is still showing. If I manually choose the file to upload and then click "Save," it works fine. It's just when I use the send_keys command to upload the photo that I then can't actually save it. Any ideas why? Here is the Save button:

    <div class="action-btns"><span class="save-btn rounded-btn">Save</span><span class="croppic-cancel white-btn cancel-btn">Cancel</span></div>

Answer 1

If the file is still uploading through your send_keys strategy, I think the issue is not with the upload but with the method used to save the file. I'm not sure what clicking strategy you are using, but you could try changing that up with some Javascript.

# locate save button
save_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[text()='Save']")

# click save button with JS
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", save_button) 

If this does not work, we may be able to change the way you are uploading the file and see if that helps. But I am not convinced that the actual upload is the issue here.

I'd try using WebDriverWait :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
picture_change = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@class='custom-file' and @type='file']")))
photo_location = "Path/to/the/file"
picture_change.click()
picture_change.send_keys(photo_location)

save_button = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Save']")))
save_button.click()

FYI: the python convention is to use lowercase for variables

you are trying to click on a div element which is not a button. you need to find element with "button" tag that corresponds to a button you are trying to click
