Automation using selenium webdriver to test applet that uploads the file - selenium-webdriver

I have to automate the test in an application which uses applet for file uploading. I know selenium can not read the elements inside the applet.
Can you please tell me, how this can be done?
Snapshot of Applet section displayed in WebApp

You can use sikuli to click on upload button and then use autoit to handle file upload dialog box.

Grab and save SVG File using selenium - C# Selenium chromedriver WinForm

I am writing WhatsApp tool in C# winform using Selenium ChromeDriver.
I have handled all operations like sending the message, clicking the attachment and all from WhatsApp web using Selenium ChromeDriver.
I want to read the WhatsApp web's QR Code which is in SVG format. I want to read the SVG File and convert and save as image in local.
I could save the QR Code using snapshot, but I don't prefer using this because I have to maintain vertical scroll position to bring full QR Code on screen.
So please help me save svg file image using chromedriver
Thank you.

I'm not sure of the specific commands in Selenium, but can't you just:
copy the SVG code via Javascript/a Selenium method
then create a new .svg file in Java and save this copied svg code as the contents?

Is there any other way to upload file in web page without using AutoIt in webdriver framework

We are looking for a way to upload images/files in webpage where our automation framework is Selenium Web driver [Robot framework] and we are using AutoIt to do the same.
When we are using auto-it we are kept on observing corrupted issues. Looking for some one's support to overcome this,
You can use the keyword Choose File for File uploading in Robot Framework.
Syntax:
Choose File locator file_path
Example:
Choose File my_upload_field ${CURDIR}/trades.csv

C# Selenium Webdriver Interacting with native image upload dialog using SendKeys.SendWait does not work on TeamCity

I am using Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait to interact with the native windows dialog when uploading an image.
I click the upload button using webdriver, then go:
SendKeys.SendWait("^A"); //Highlight content so it can be overwritten
SendKeys.SendWait(path);
SendKeys.SendWait(#"{Enter}");
Works great when I run it locally on my PC, however, the test won't run on the TeamCity agent (I have many other tests that run OK). It fails as it seems that native dialog never appears or if it does, it can't interact with it.
Not sure what's happening as this whole test agent process runs in the background and I can't see what it's doing - I can take screenshots using webdriver but it won't capture native dialogs anyway.
I tried to configure the team city test agent windows service (change Log On settings to allow interacting with desktop) but this did not work. Seems it just isn't able to interact with it... any ideas on how to make this work?
In order to upload a file with Selenium, you should use Webdriver's SendKeys directly to the input element that requires the path (Not Forms.SendKeys). See this example.
Note: You'll need to avoid clicking the button that opens the dialog.

Edge Upload File control using Selenium

I am trying to upload a file using Selenium Webdriver on the Edge browser, and yes I have downloaded EdgeDriver and installed the MSI for testing Edge. Clicking on elements on the screen from within the Edge browser works fine. The problem is the upload file control. My code is as follows:
IWebElement fileUploader2 = Browser.Driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("input[type='file']"))[0];
fileUploader2.SendKeys(FileUtility.FileUploadsDirectory + "\\sample-account_balances.xlsx");
The code above works for Chrome and Firefox, but does not work for Edge. This is a ReactJS web app. I have tried the suggestions below that are similar to my code above and I cannot seem to upload a file using the control programmatically from Selenium Webdriver. There is no error given it just does not click on send text to the file upload control. Nothing is executed:
How to upload file using Selenium Webdriver?
File Control on Edge
DOM Upload Control Edge
Unfortunately this feature has not been added to the edge webdriver yet. I've run into the same problem and have not been able to find a suitable solution yet. One (admitedly not ideal) solution is to use AutoIt to automate the file upload for edge. There are multiple reports of this issue, but here's one of the latest reports showing that its an issue with the edge driver.

Automate Adobe PDF web forms (XFA) using selenium web driver

How to automate Adobe PDF web forms (XFA) using selenium web driver ? How to inspect elements in order to input text or click submit button in PDF forms ? These pdf forms are only supported by IE and no other browsers
Selenium Webdriver can only perform operations on DOM.
Can you right click on the form and see if view source option is coming?If not,then i don't think you can input anything on your Adobe PDF using Selenium Webdriver.
You can't automate PDF file but yes you can verify any text any content in PDF file. You can try below code if it met your requirement
Try below code:-
public void ReadPDF() throws Exception {
URL TestURL = new URL("http://www.axmag.com/download/pdfurl-guide.pdf");
BufferedInputStream TestFile = new BufferedInputStream(TestURL.openStream());
PDFParser TestPDF = new PDFParser(TestFile);
TestPDF.parse();
String TestText = new PDFTextStripper().getText(TestPDF.getPDDocument());
Assert.assertTrue(TestText.contains("Open the setting.xml, you can see it is like this"));
}
