Are you able to upload a file

Question

I have a test that I would like to upload pictures to a website that uses the defaulted OS upload modal. After I click upload I cannot access the upload screen. Is there a way around it? I saw online that it looked like there was but I had no idea how to implement what they were saying.

element(By.xpath("//div[@id='ngdialog28']/div[2]/div/div[6]/div/span")).click()
element(By.css("input[type=\"file\"]")).click();
element(By.css("input[type=\"file\"]")).clear();
element(By.css("input[type=\"file\"]")).sendKeys("C:\\ProgramData\\MeetingMatrix International\\MeetingMatrix 2010\\MMIDEMO\\Setups\\Test.mms");

@Sergio I am updating a screenshot of what I mean, sorry I am pre-coffee — Nicole Phillips, Aug 19 '15 at 11:56
Can't you just set the value of that file input (therefore sidestepping all this modal window access stuff)? — Sergio Tulentsev, Aug 19 '15 at 11:59
@Sergio I've tried that, or so I thought, I'm new to Angularjs and Protractor from what I've seen online its tricky and i have not found any code examples to go with it, at least that work for me. I am updating with the code I tried. — Nicole Phillips, Aug 19 '15 at 12:00
@Sergio hmmm I dont know how I missed that bottom part as I reviewed that question earlier. I will give that a try, fingers crossed. — Nicole Phillips, Aug 19 '15 at 12:05
@Sergio the first one did not, I am checking out the bottom answer now, I had a no visible element issue to deal with first, just fixed that. — Nicole Phillips, Aug 19 '15 at 15:32
@Sergio The first did work I had to remove the last line of code, fantastic ty! — Nicole Phillips, Aug 19 '15 at 15:37

The answer below came from a previous post I had overlooked. Here is the code:

var path = require('path');

var fileToUpload = 'Put the path here',
  absolutePath = path.resolve(__dirname, fileToUpload);

$('input[type="file"]').sendKeys(absolutePath);
