How to upload a picture using Selenium?

Question

I have to upload a.JPG image from a specified folder. Sendkeys(PATH) is not working. The robot is also not working. Please suggest me some other tool like Robot where I can use its.jar files in my maven project. I have to run the code on the server using grid so no installers, please. Any external or internal Java class would be great.

Answer 1

Take a look at my answer here . The code is in C#, but it outlines the workaround I used for uploading files inside a selenium test. Note: no third-party tools were required.
