I'm using Sahi for Test Automation of web application. I have to write a script for sahi for uploading a file. But unfortunately I don't know the way. Can anybody please help me?

File upload can be a complex thing depending upon any validations you do on the upload. For a starter, you can try out the following:

Synatx:

_setFile(element, filePath [, actionURL])

eg: _setFile(_file("id"), "C:\abc\efg.jpg", "formSubmit.jsp");

If there are javascript validations on the file field, you can try this hack. Before submitting the file, change the field’s type to “text”, and then set its value. Eg.

// set the file
_setFile(_file("file"), "scripts/demo/uploadme.txt");
// Change the "type" attribute of file field
if (_isIE()){
_call(_file("file").outerHTML = _file("file").outerHTML.replace(/type=['"]?file['"]?/, "type=text"));
}else{
_call(_file("file").type = "text");
}
// Set the value into the textbox
_setValue(_textbox("file"), "scripts/demo/uploadme.txt");

This works for most of the cases. If you still get any error, you can post it here.

Thanks, Vivek

Note that as of Sahi 4.3, there is a _setFile2 function that automatically handles js validations and does this input type conversion.

There is already an answer on here posted over two years ago that mentions that function. Do you have anything to add to that answer? – skrrgwasme Oct 21 '15 at 15:57

You can use the following

_setFile(_file("id"), "C:\\abc\\efg.jpg");

Not sure if you need anything more complex?

You need more detail in your question, and some example code of where things are going wrong. It's impossible to decipher what your question is – Abe Petrillo Feb 23 '12 at 11:11
