remote file upload #445
Description
thank you so much for this great library. Very helpful!
I want to use the Webdriver mechanism to upload files remotely (since version 2.8). The junit fraction does it like this:
driver.setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector())Would that be possible in selenium2library, too. Did anybody look into that already?
The python bindings (file_detector.py) already implements this:
class LocalFileDetector(FileDetector):
"""
Detects files on the local disk.

I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion.

Have you tried just selecting the upload element and using
send_keys(Input Text) with the path to the local file? It seems like the python api has some magic to facilitate that.https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/f5b4f1c693f9598050e6f507eb1441a0b77c2943/py/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py#L283-L285

This project has a long history with a lot of people involved. Things like this fall through the cracks from time to time.
Thanks for testing it out though! I'll make an issue to update the documentation.

Also, did you just try it with
choose file? I forgot that that keyword even exists, it should essentially do the same thing.just-be-dev commentedon Jul 18, 2015
Cool. Sorry again about the documentation! I'm working on it.
