Python -> Selenium : Not able to upload the file

Question

Code: <input type="file" accept="image/png, image/jpeg" style="display: none;">

What I am trying to do:

upload = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@type = 'file']") upload.send_keys('/Users/username/Desktop/images/filename.jpg')

PS: This code is not in any iframe and element can be found (I checked its attribute to be sure)

Nothing happens, I have written the same logic to upload files in other test cases and it worked.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

I was able to figure out the issue. Below the input field accepts "jpeg and png" and I was trying to upload "jpg". Once I changed the input to "jpeg or png" it worked.

Code:

<input type="file" accept="image/png, image/jpeg" style="display: none;">

What I was doing:

upload.send_keys('/Users/username/Desktop/images/filename.jpg')

Solution: Change the file extension to jpeg or png.

upload.send_keys('/Users/username/Desktop/images/filename.jpeg')
