Hi, I am not able to test the upload functionality in Katalon studio (version 5.8.6) in Mac on Chrome version 70.0.3538.102 . I am able to record the test successfully but when I am playing the test case, upload window is open but after that nothing is happened, Katalon studio is not able to select the file and my test case failed. I am not sure what i am doing working, PFB my code and advice. ```auto WebUI.openBrowser('')WebUI.navigateToUrl('http://localhost:8091/')WebUI.maximizeWindow()WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Umang2/Page_EDB Postgres Migration Portal/a_Projects'))WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Umang2/Page_EDB Postgres Migration Portal/a_Assess'))'Passing the path of the file'WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('Upload File'), '\\\\Users\\\\sanjayjain\\\\Downloads\\\\040818_Multi_9_gen_hr_ddls.sql.txt') 'Capturing the file name after upload and storing it in a variable'FilePath = WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject('Upload File'), 'value') 'Verifying the Actual path and Expected path of file'WebUI.verifyMatch(FilePath, 'Users\\fakepath\\Desert.txt', false)WebUI.delay(15) ``` Console output in Katalon Studio ```auto 2-04-2018 12:22:45 PM -
