Hi Katalon Team! Does anyone have tried the upload image on Instagram using the web? I used sendkeys for upload of an image, and I got an error below.

Instagram modal for upload image:

Note: I tried to click the 'Select from computer" first then I’ll send (using sendkeys) the path of the image file, but I still encounter an error. Is there another way how can successfully upload the image? Thank you!

You may wanna try `Upload File by Drag-and-Drop` keyword.

Hi Thanto, Thanks! There is no error already, but I got the file is not supported even though I am uploading a jpg file.

Note: I tried manually uploading the JPG file, and I successfully upload the image. Thank you!

My Code:

```
            WebUI.click(findTestObject('Home Page_Instagram/Click_Upload'))

            def filePath = RunConfiguration.getProjectDir() + '/pablo.jpg'

            WebUI.uploadFileWithDragAndDrop(findTestObject('Home Page_Instagram/Select from computer'), '/Users/ryanpl/Documents')

```

You need to pass the variable `filePath` instead of `/Users/ryanpl/Documents` into the keyword.

Thanks, Thanto! But I have a question, do I need to locate my image file to the getProjectDir? Because After I run, I got this error below.

My file is located on this path. Thank you!

`def filePath = RunConfiguration.getProjectDir() + '/Users/ryanp.escal/Documents/pablog.jpg'`

I’m sorry to tell you this, @ryan, but you have not solved the problem. You have altered your input to accommodate your bug.

Let me say that a different way by asking you this question: will your users (who you are meant to be emulating) have a Katalon project folder?

The browser supports users uploading files _from any path available to them_. Your test should cover that.
