Please Note: Best practices is to NOT to use WebUI.delay() OR Thread.sleep() but sometimes there is no alternative. First create a new ‘uploadFiles’ custom keyword as follows: -Start ‘Katalon Studio’ -Open any test project -Click ‘File’ > ‘New’ > ‘Keyword’ -Input ‘Package’= tools -Input 'Clas…

[image] Dave_Evers: CustomKeywords.‘tools.uploadFiles.uploadFile’(findTestObject(‘Your_TestObject’), ‘C:\TestFiles\file001.jpg’) Thread.sleep(2500) //Millisecond 2.5 second delay only if needed My case is working now, Thank You :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

mmm…wondering…could that be because I have no admin rights on my laptop…?

@Dave_Evers thank you so much, it works partially. It comes up but cant find the file then it does not click it to add it.. [image] It writes the path in the FILE name field however it it does not double click or select it when it finds it.. [image] I need it to click OPEN in file explorer or…

Does your pathway have double slashes in it? It needs them. (A single slash is an escape character, like for the “new line symbol”, \n, so the second slash says that the first slash is just a slash.) gImportFileName = 'G:\\Katalon Test Cases\\Katalon\\Data Files\\Details.txt';

yes actually I did then add the slashes @grylion54 code below **CustomKeywords**.'tools.uploadFiles.uploadFile'(findTestObject('Object/button_plus_add_document'), **'"G:\\Katalon\\TestCase\\Downloads\\test.docx"')** KEYWORD [image]

It may be small, but you have your second delay in the middle of releasing the CTRL + V (i.e. paste). So, keyPress on CTRL + V and then keyRelease the same two keys, like below: robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V); robot.keyRelease(Ke…
