File Upload with button in Katalon Studio

[juan.angeles]

I want to load a file through a button that is contains an icon as an image on top of it. When it runs the test it stops just in the attempt to load as if it had clicked on the object and opens the file browser. It is worth mentioning that I have Katalon installed on Linux. I share my script

The variable “file” was where I introduced the path of the file to load

These are the buttons I refer to where I want to load the file

The result of the test shows that the file is being sent but when I run the test it stops showing the linux file browser and does not load the file in the application.

Please don’t be offended, but what you just did was take a photo of your car, drew a red box around the hood, took it to a mechanic and said, “it’s making a weird noise somewhere in there”.

We need to see under the hood!

[TIP] How To Help Us Help You!

My test is BROKEN! NOTHING WORKS! HELP ME! Relax. We get it. We really do. There are some pretty smart and clever people on this forum, but you must realize, they are not magicians or wizards or gods. They cannot see your code, they can’t see your errors and they don’t even know what your AUT is meant to do even though it might seem perfectly obvious to you. So please relax and follow the advice below, before you start writing your post. The advice below will tell you the exact information …

[juan.angeles]

I’m not offended but attach the code above. What do I need to attach more?

[grylion54]

You say the variable “file” is where you introduce the path of the file, but I don’t see it, such as:

file = "G:\\Katalon Studio\\Data\\MyFile.txt"

Do you do it somewhere else not in the code? (Perhaps do a test and put the definition of “file” in the code to see what happens?)

[juan.angeles]

I defined it within the test case

[grylion54]

Can you do a test and copy the file’s path that you have and use some type of file explorer (not sure what it’s called in Linux) and see if it actually makes it to your file’s location? If it doesn’t make it to the actual file’s location, change the pathway so it does. In my example, (I’m on Windows) I have the full pathway including directory etc.

And, you may try to have double slashes in your file pathway, as well, like I have above.

[juan.angeles]

If the path I am configuring is within a Linux file directory. When I run the test it stops right when it tries to do the file upload and opens the file explorer right at the path I configured but does not do the upload action. In the results it marks me that if it sends the file to the object but it is not reflected when it runs the test.

[grylion54]

Maybe try:

@grylion54

You may try to have double slashes in your file pathway, as well.

[juan.angeles]

I will try and notify you if it runs correctly

[juan.angeles]

I ran the test and it stayed the same just open the browser and it doesn’t go from there

[grylion54]

How about try with a simpler file name, or remove the “(5)” from the file you have chosen? If the uploadFile statement uses RegEx, the parenthesis would cause a concern.

An alternative is to use the Robot to upload a file.

Something like:

import java.awt.Robot
import java.awt.Toolkit
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent

"set document"
StringSelection ss = new StringSelection(gImportFileName);
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

WebUI.waitForPageLoad(10)
WebUI.delay(2)

@juan.angeles

I’m not offended but attach the code above. What do I need to attach more?

Make sure you capture all the HTML devoted to presenting that upload button.

[juan.angeles]

This is the object

[Russ_Thomas]

I’m posting your other discussion to this thread - please don’t post the same question to two topics, it causes much confusion and divides our resources. Thanks.

[juan.angeles]

I tested the code but when I run the test if it is locating each of the test objects but it does not load the file.

I’M USING LINUX.IT MUST BE BECAUSE OF THAT?

@juan.angeles. Try this alternative solution: How-to use ‘sendKeys’ or 'File Upload' to upload files

[juan.angeles]

Try the way you indicated but the object appears as a button and does not show the type = file

[Dave_Evers]

@juan.angeles you want to use sendKeys on the type=‘file’ object, read what I said in my post above regarding must be type=‘file’. As Russ pointed out it’s highlighted in green.

[Russ_Thomas]

The object you need to deal with is highlighted in green:
