Unable to upload and crop image using Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am not able to upload an image using selenium webdriver: I have tried it doing with sendkeys, Robot class. With Robot class it just get stuck while opening file

here is my code:

//Image upload code
      driver.findElement(By.id("image_file"));
      driver.findElement(By.id("image_file")).click();
     //driver.findElement(By.id("image_file")).sendKeys("C:/Users/Kanchana/index.png");
      uploadImage("index.png");
      Thread.sleep(2000);
      driver.findElement(By.id("companylogo_save_btn")).click();
      driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.doneedit > button")).click();
      driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/div[4]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/img")).click();
      driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.comment")).click();
  }

  public static void setClipBoardData(String string){
      //StringSelection class used for copy and paste operations.
      StringSelection stringselect = new StringSelection(string);
      Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringselect, null);
  }

  public static void uploadImage(String imagelocation){
      try{
          //Setting clipboard with image location
          setClipBoardData(imagelocation);

          //native key strokes for CTRL, V and ENTER keys
          Robot robot =  new Robot();
          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);
      } catch (Exception exp) {
          exp.printStackTrace();
      }

HTML:

<span class="fileinputs"> <input id="image_file" type="file" name="fileUpload"> <label>

using robot class also u r doing it wrong. provide complete path or relative path of the file, not the file name only. — Vivek Singh, Apr 02 '15 at 10:01

The code you have should work fine. You need to use two forward slashes.

     driver.findElement(By.id("image_file")).sendKeys("C://Users//Kanchana//index.png");

I already tried image uploading through sendkeys- not working for me. Then I tried with robot class and this also isn't working I have tried with two slashes too. It goes to image file opening page copy's the path of the image file in the open file text box and doesn't go further and in JUnit the test case is passed without uploading an image. – angel Apr 03 '15 at 17:34
