Hi there,

Your scenario is you want to select multiple files at once or select one file to upload then another file?

Thanks

In my case, I have to select multiple files at once.

Thanks for your fast reply.

Hi there,

You can’t select multiple files at once, but you can loop through a list of your desired files and execute multiple ‘Select Upload’ file. It’s the same way to achieve your same scenario, is it ok so that I will write you a sample script?

Thanks

Okay. Kindly send me the script, so that I will check and let you know.

Hi there,

1. This script will loop through all current files (NOT recursive) in the folder, e.g C:\SampleFolder

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import groovy.io.FileType

def list = []

def dir = new File(“C:\\SampleFolder”)
dir.eachFile (FileType.FILES) { file ->
list << file
}

for (item in list) {
WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject(‘SamplePage/btn_UploadFile’), item)
}

2. This script will loop through all current files (RECURSIVE) in the folder, e.g C:\SampleFolder

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import groovy.io.FileType

def list = []

def dir = new File(“C:\\SampleFolder”)
dir.eachFileRecurse (FileType.FILES) { file ->
list << file
}

for (item in list) {
WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject(‘SamplePage/btn_UploadFile’), item)
}

3. This script will loop through only the files you want in the list to upload in the folder, e.g C:\SampleFolder

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import groovy.io.FileType

def list = [“C:\\SampleFolder\\1.jpg” , “C:\\SampleFolder\\3.jpg”]

for (item in list) {
WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject(‘SamplePage/btn_UploadFile’), item)
}

Hope one of them will help you.

Thanks

Thanks, everyone. I’m gonna close this discussion now. If you have any question, don’t hesitate to start a new one. We always appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

How should this script been modified to upload more than files simultaneously?

11

String finalPath = path1 + “\n” + path2;
WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject(“path/to/my/object”), finalPath);

12

I get error message in this case:

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException: invalid argument: File not found

Hi Oliver,

could you please clarify what is a data type of ‘item’ ?
script does not work because WebUI.uploadFile expects String as the 2nd (fileAbsolutePath) parameter.

14

When I copy the script to my machine and hover over “item”, Intellisense gives me its data type as String and the variable, “list”, as List<String>. If you are having issues, then how about replacing “def” with List<String>.

List<String> list = ["C:\\SampleFolder\\1.jpg" , "C:\\SampleFolder\\3.jpg"]
	
for (item in list) {
    WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('SamplePage/btn_UploadFile'), item)
}

Edit: another option would be to leave the def in place and change the variable, item, to: item.toString()

This should define the data type of the variable as a String, in case KS “thinks” it might be “just” an Object–and not a String object.
