How to upload file in selenium webdriver in Java?

Uploading file using selenium webdriver is very simple. All you have to do is – find the input element having type attribute’s value as file and then use sendKeys.

Below code will illustrate how we can upload a file using selenium webdriver in Java.

package abc;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class FileUpload {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

 

  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "F:\\chromedriver.exe");

  WebDriver driver =  new ChromeDriver();

        

  try{

  

   driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

   driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

   driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);  

     

   driver.get("http://www.xyz.com");

     

   WebElement uploadElement = driver.findElement(By.id("uploadfile"));

// enter the file path in file input field

uploadElement.sendKeys("C:\\abc.docx");

Thread.sleep(2000);

  }

 

  catch(Exception ex){

  

   System.out.println(ex.toString());

  

  }

  finally{

  

   driver.close();

   driver.quit();

  }

 }

}
