File Upload in Selenium not working with

Question

I tried uploading file to selenium using javascriptexecuter but it throwed an error like "This is insecure"

this is the tag i worked upon

{input type="file" name="fileUploader" id="fileUploader-fu" tabindex="-1" size="1"}

{input type="hidden" name="charset"}

{input type="hidden" id="fileUploader-fu_data" name="fileUploader-data" value=""}

and i used

try {

        WebElement elem=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='fileUploader']"));
        driver.
        ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].value = arguments[1];", elem, "./payloads/SalesOrderSummary.xsd");
    System.out.println("here2");
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println(e);
    }

it gave me error like This is insecure

are there any alternatives to upload or any solution.

Thanks

you can simply pass file path using sendkeys instead of this javascript executor. — Helping Hands, Sep 01 '15 at 10:09

Please format your code and HTML properly. HTML tags don't use {}. — JeffC, Sep 02 '15 at 00:20
Absolute path is not an inssue, the Uploader is hidden division. — Prince Singh, Sep 04 '15 at 05:58

Yes you can upload the files using sendkeys too sendkeys is not only send string to textboxs while it sets the value in your DOM too

So try this out

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='fileUploader']")).sendKeys(GIVE ABSOLUE PATH OF YOUR FILE);

Click on upload button too after this :)

get back to me if still facing problem :)

The Absolute path will not work as the Uploader is Hidden division. – Prince Singh Sep 04 '15 at 05:59
Not really useful, since it will not work for most websites, as it only interacts with HTML5 based multiple file uploader. – Tao Zhang Dec 14 '16 at 00:36
