Unable to upload file

Product Forums Katalon Studio
,

I have tried everything in uploading file using katalon studio. some times it shows unable to focus on element and sometime test passes but file never gets uploaded.
i have used Uploadfile function and used ‘delay’, ‘Wait For Element Attribute Value’ prior to uploadfile so that page can properly load completely.
Even for the below mentioned website it is not uploading, following is my script;

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject(‘btnup’), ‘D:\\ss.JPG’)

Attribute used for uploadFile method is (input[type=‘file’]xpath,filePath,flowControl).So make sure that webElement which you have taken its input type is file or not.Otherwise file will not be uploaded.

3

Thanks so much, it is working for those which have Type ‘file’ :slight_smile:
May i know when can we have this restriction removed in Katalon studio so that we can upload file on the basis of other attributes like id, class or xpath?

4

if input type is not a file, what is the other solution ? because when I click the drag&drop field, window has opened but I couldn’t handle that one with using kalaton?

The element used to upload a file is always an input type=file element. If that page seems to do something else (i.e. seems to use a different type of input element) understand it’s using smoke and mirrors to obfuscate its processes.

Knowing that, it becomes a problem of finding the real type=file element, because it’s there somewhere.

In the developer tools console, type this:

document.querySelectorAll("input[type=file]")

When I did that, I received a single element with an id. On a second page invocation, I received a different id proving the id is dynamic. That means the id isn’t much help for testing BUT knowing that it exists and the CSS can find it proves we can use the same CSS to find the type=file input element and use it in your test.

So, stop using the Test Object “btnup” and build your own “betterBtnUp”. Put the same CSS in the CSS properties for the test object:

input[type=file]

then try

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject(‘betterBtnup’), ‘D:\\ss.JPG’)

Thanks Russ for guiding me on this. How about if i have to upload file when i cannot view file type. Please see the attachment, what can be done in this case to upload file. Just to add here, clicking on this filed works both ways to drag and drop and also opens a browser pop up to select files from drive.

My understanding is that the drag/drop APIs should be used for something like this. But I have never used them so I’d be the wrong person to ask and advise you.

Having said that, I don’t see how to drag a file from outside the browser onto a page. There are some pretty smart people around here though, maybe a few of them have solved this scenario.

@Marek_Melocik? @Mate_Mrse? @kazurayam? Anyone?

Just guessing - can you look around this div element? There may be some hidden input.

hi…i am a beginner to automation trying to figure out the upload file using katalon studio. I have tried uploading on the mentioned website, nothing is getting uploaded (given my script below). Can someone help me with it.

WebUI.closeBrowser()

Maybe try switching forward slashes and back slashes?

Do you get any error messages?

11

Tried by changing the slashes. When i run the test case it will execute till the upload selection and a window opens to select the file and then it stops there.
