How to upload file using Selenium Webdriver?

Question

Tried lot of suggestions available on stackoverflow regarding upload file using selenium webdriver, but issue still exists.

User clicks on Browse button, then a new popup window is displayed and then script will try to upload the file. My code below:

cd.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='import_file']")).sendKeys("E://iMedicor - Karthik/2.Demographics/Patients_Data/Patient_One.xml");

If I clicked on Browse button following popup is displayed.

File is inside E drive. Tried script like below as well, but issue is still same.

cd.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='import_file']")).click();
cd.switchTo().activeElement()
  .sendKeys("E://iMedicor - Karthik/2.Demographics/Patients_Data/Patient_One.xml");

I have tried solutions mentioned in that one also. But it doesn't helps me. I have two file upload fields in same page.. — Karthik, Sep 25 '15 at 11:39
Have you tried using autoIT script? It is one of the solution mentioned in abve link. AutoIT is of great help to handle Windows(only) native dialogs. — MKay, Sep 25 '15 at 11:51
Hi, I have tried following code.. It works for me. But problem is File Upload window is not getting closed, even the file is uploaded... `cd.findElement(By.id("import_file")).click(); cd.switchTo().activeElement() .sendKeys("E:\\iMedicor-Karthik\\2.Demographics\\Patients_Data\\Patient_One.xml"); cd.findElement(By.id("btn_submit")).click();` — Karthik, Sep 25 '15 at 11:56
The problem is fixed now... I have used below code `cd.findElement(By.id("import_file")).sendKeys("E:\\iMedicor-Karthik\\2.Demographics\\Patients_Data\\Patient_One.xml");`. Actually the filepath caused a issue for me.. I have used `E:\\iMedicor-Karthik\\2.Demographics\\Patients_Data\\Patient_One.xml` instead of `E://iMedicor-Karthik/2.Demographics/Patients_Data/Patient_One.xml` — Karthik, Sep 25 '15 at 12:04

Below code solved the issue..

cd.findElement(By.id("import_file")).sendKeys("E:\\iMedicor-Karthik\\2.Demographi‌cs\\Patients_Data\\Patient_One.xml");

Actually the filepath caused a issue for me.. I have used

E:\\iMedicor-Karthik\\2.Demographics\\Patients_Data\\Patient_One.xml

instead of E://iMedicor-Karthik/2.Demographics/Patients_Data/Patient_One.xml
