file upload - selenium - Path not absolute

Question

I have written some phpunit selenium code to upload a file. I find it working perfectly fine in my local and the i have given the path of the file as

  $filePath = getcwd(). "/Images/test_Image1.png"

When I run the same piece of code in jenkins (running on saucelabs), the test fails saying the path is not absolute

 unknown error: path is not absolute: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/UploadProject/test_Image1.png (Session info: chrome=47.0.2526.73) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.20.353145 (343b531d31eeb933ec778dbcf7081628a1396067),platform=Windows NT 6.1 SP1 x86_64)

but I can see that the image file exists on that path. So how should i give the absolute path here

See: Transfrom relative path into absolute URL using PHP

If you use not PHP, you can use sample from link like code example and create your function.

I am running the code on jenkins server and chrome driver expects a root directory like (C://) to check for absolute path. But since this is on jenkins, I do not know how to give the absolute path – user3920295 Jan 15 '16 at 14:22

If your really problem is relative path, I already answered how you can resolve it. – Vika Marquez Jan 15 '16 at 17:06
This is to transform relative path as a URL and not as a local file. – Moradnejad May 31 '16 at 09:59
