Runtime.getRuntime().exec(fileupload) is showing error(C# Selenium Webdriver)

Question

I would like to write the code for uploading file using Autoit in Selenium Webdriver(C#). I have installed Autoit. Create the exe file where I have mentioned the file location which I want to upload.

But when I write :

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(fileupload);

It shows me the following error:

object doest not contain a definition for "getRuntime" and no extension method getRuntime.

Am I missing something? Can anyone help?

As per the documentation Runtime.getRuntime().exec() method takes the absolute path of the executable along with the extension i.e. .exe. So you need to modify your code as follows :

• C# Binding Art :

  Runtime.getRuntime().exec(@"C:\\path\\to\\AutoIT\\fileupload.exe");
  

• Java Binding Art :

  Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\path\\to\\AutoIT\\fileupload.exe");
