How to upload multiple files on single statement in selenium? - file

I am not getting any warning or error message while executing the program.
wd.findElement(By.xpath("XPATH")).sendKeys("ABC.jpg","XYZ.jpg");
But no file is uploading.
wd.findElement(By.xpath("XPATH")).sendKeys("can we make CTRL+A operation" );
Thanks in advance.

I think you may be going about this while "file upload in Selenium" thing wrong, so that's what I'm going to address.
This article by SauceLabs covers the basic steps to handle a file upload through Selenium in both Java and Ruby. Assuming you're using Java, there are a few steps you'd need:
Set the FileDetector method for your WebDriver
Get a WebElement pointing to a valid HTML input tag of type file
Have Selenium type in the file's path (Not sure if this requires absolute paths, but it's probably a good idea)
Submit the form
The following code listing demonstrates how to perform each of these steps:
wd.setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector());
// point your webdriver to the page containing the upload form.
WebElement upload = wd.findElement(By.xpath("XPATH")); // TODO replace xpath!
upload.sendKeys("/path/to/ABC.jpg");
upload.submit(); // NOTE: Submits the form *containing* the upload field!
Because you've set the file detection method to LocalFileDetection, Selenium will be able to find the appropriate file. If this is not set, then Selenium defaults to the UselessFileDetection implementation, which fails every time to avoid accidental file uploads.
Caveat: If you're using a Javascript or Flash-based multiple file upload system, then this probably won't work, since those typically bypass the original input field or handle upload independently from the form's submission.

You are not getting an error because sendKeys() accepts an array of CharSequence objects. and you are conforming to that method contract
But no file is uploading
That is because the way your code is written now, will actually send the text: ABC.jpgXYZ.jpg.

How can I download a PDF file from a form using UI designer?? Bonita

The thing is I have found how upload a document and after that downolad it. But I just want to download it. I want to do it using the UI designer but I dont know how to do it.
Thanks :)
I dont know which tool are you using to design your UI, anyway this is concerning functionality, not design. In that point, i need to know wich language do you want (or can) use. For example, in PHP, it's very simple, you can make something like:
(create php file) downloadpdf.php
1st: (if you want to generate pdf "on the fly":
<?php
function download($foo){
content headers (type, force-download, etc)
database select to get data or harcode it.
echo data
}
?>
and call this function with some id to select from database or something (ignore if you want to hardcode it)
Other option to download a file, if it's stored on server is making a link to this file (statically or dyamically). If you wanna take control to file downloads, check this post:
http://www.media-division.com/the-right-way-to-handle-file-downloads-in-php/
I don't mean that it can be done with UI designer tools, and it's not concerned if it's from a form or not.
Cheers!
You should create link and variable which type is javascript expression. On Variable value write
return "/bonita/portal/" + $data.context.mainDoc_ref.url;
On link URL write your variable and to text
Download: {{context.mainDoc_ref.fileName}}
Here you can find excellent example for this case

Selenium Webdriver FIle Upload error element ice:inputFile

this is my first post and sorry for asking the same question once again. I am stuck with a issue regarding uploading a file in Selenium Web Driver. I have searched a lot in this forum but the solutions are not working for me. The element which is the file Browse button is embedded in the file text area ( i.e. where the path of the file gets printed after the browsing through file browse dialog box), but the upload button is separate.
The entire element code is:
<input class="iceInpFileTxt" type="file" size="35" name="upload">
I am unable to click on the "browse" button using click() method. I have tried using Autoit/Robot also.
The code of the element from JSP page:
<ice:inputFile id="fileUpload" width="600" autoUpload="true"
value="#{practitionerLoadDataBean.inputFile}"
actionListener="#{practitionerLoadControllerBean.browse}"/>
I know the input type is file so sendkeys() should work. The codes I have been trying are:
WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='upload']"));
elem.sendKeys("<PATH>");
The error message shows as:
org.openqa.selenium.remote.ErrorHandler$UnknownServerException:Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//input[#name='upload']"}
Please let me know where I my mistake is. Thanks in advance.
If the element was simply invisible, it would have been found, but you wouldn't be able to interact with it. The usual solution is to look around for frames.
You can't search for elements contained in frames, you have to switch your driver's context to that frame first.
driver.switchTo().frame("frameName");
Then you'll be able to find the element and upload the file the usual way (please, use the sendKeys() method describes by other answers in here).
Please confirm that the input element is visible
Do not click on the browse button, it will open an system level dialogue box to upload the file & Its very tedious to handle this in selenium.
you can use the following method:
driver.find_element(:id,'videoupload').send_keys("E:\\video.flv")
Please check the "\\" in your code.
Please Keep in mind that the upload will work only If the element you send a file should be in the form
Hope this will work for you.
Cheers!!
File Upload Using SendKeys
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("URl");
File file=null;
try
{
file=new File("file path");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Assert.assertTrue(file.exists());
WebElement browserButton=driver.findElement(By.id("button Id"));
browserButton.sendkeys(file.getAbsolutePath());
Try this code:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/div[2]/div[5]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[1]")).click();

Render file Rails3

I'm trying to render a png file in a controller in Rails3. I'm using:
render :file=>'public/images/filename.png'
However, the output seems not to be a PNG file (its contents start with "PNG" -checked it with curl- but it's not a valid file). I cannot find documentation on render :file in Rails3. Has the syntax changed for this? Even if it's a MIME type issue, I think I should be able to obtain the file with curl.
I'm using this technique to show a default image when using Fleximage's images if available. Fleximage's images work correctly, but this simple operation does not.
use:
send_file path_to_file

Drupal Attachments (FileField) file path

What function in Drupal gets file attachment path?
Edit: the attachments provided by Upload module in system section. But since you mentioned there may be another way around it. Maybe I could achieve may goals using FileField module so if you could tell me how to get a direct link of a file uploaded by FileField module that may also be very helpful.
Edit 2:
Ok I will start from my main and final objective:
It is to get an image linking to a file which visibility I could be managed using CCK module.
I am doing this step by step. So now I have written a code which generates the needed image and I have added that image to one of content types teaser. I found a way to warp my image in a tag and I had dug up simple attachments url. So my next step is to advance from simple upload attachment to the one added by FileFields and from odd looking HTML pace in all PHP document into beautifully managed CCK field.
How to fetch file path of a file uploaded FileFields?
Some plain and at the same time rich tutorials for making custom fields for CCK module.
Assuming you know how to get the $node object for a node containing a file attachment, this is super easy:
Upload (core)
$file = upload_load($node);
echo $file[1]->filepath;
Where 1 is the index of the file. Upload can let you upload more than one file, so file 2 would have an index of 2 and so on. If there's only one file, it'll always be 1.
More info: upload_load() API reference.
FileField
echo $node->field_fieldname[0]['filepath'];
Where field_filename is the short name you've used for the field, and 0 is the index of the field. CCK fields let you have multiple values in one field, so 0 would be the first, 1 would be the second, etc. If you only have one value, it'll always be 0.
Note: if you want to get the rendered output of the FileField using its formatters, you can just use $field_fieldname in your node template, or if you want to store the rendered output, you can use:
echo content_format('field_fieldname', $node->field_fieldname[0]);
More info: content_format() API reference.
Upload is a sad little module, and has been completely replaced with a core implementation of FileField in Drupal 7. If you have the option to use FileField, you should.
Don't direct links of file attachments appear below the uploaded file for the core Upload module?
Since you are trying to use images, you should use http://drupal.org/project/imagefield CCK module in order to add images to specified content type. After that using the Display fields tab in Content type configuration you can specify how image would be presented (as a link, image, image with link to node...) both in teaser and body view.

Receive multi file post with google app engine

I want to receive multi file post from image uploader.(i use this)
Most examples show how to receive one image from post.
I tried many ways but never got the results.
For example
self.request.POST['Filename']
gives only first filename.
What to do when there are multiple files/images in post?
The reason for this is to resize before upload images, that are too big for google app engine
to upload.
EDIT:
self.request.POST.multi.__dict__
shows
{'_items':
[('Filename', 'camila1.jpg'),
('Filedata[]', FieldStorage('Filedata[]', 'camila1.jpg')),
('Upload', 'Submit Query\r\n--negpwjpcenudkacqrxpleuuubfqqftwm----negpwjpcenudkacqrxpleuuubfqqftwm\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="Filename"\r\n\r\nbornToBeWild1.jpg'),
('Filedata[]', FieldStorage('Filedata[]', 'bornToBeWild1.jpg')),
('Upload', 'Submit Query')]}
Your flash uploader is designed to work with PHP and sends multiple Filedata[] fields (php interprets this as an array for easy access)
So you need to iterate and get them all:
def post(self):
for file_data in self.request.POST.getall('Filedata[]'):
logging.info(file_data.filename)
data should be file_data.value
Are you using the Django libraries available to you? If so, check this out.
Call self.request.POST.getall('Filename') to get a list of FieldStorage objects; each one contains one file. You can access the file data with .value, the name with .name, and the mimetype with .type.
I have no idea how that multi uploader works, I have made one in the past however and I just added a number on the end of input field name, then hide it. Then add a new file input field to add another file. The reason for this is that they don't let you play around with input file fields to much because you could make it upload files they didn't want you uploading.
Using my conventions, in your example the 2 files in your example would be "Filename0" and "Filename1". You could also use firebug to see what it renaming the input file fields to.
Edit: I had a look, and it's using flash. So i have no idea how it works.
