Uploading a file using AutoIt

As we all know, Selenium will not support window based elements. To upload/download we need to use some third party tools.

Below post explains how to upload a file from local drive using AutoIt.

• Dowload AutoIt from link : http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/
• Install it
• Below is the sample code to upload :

(This code is to select a file from window after clicking on browse button from web page, After this we have click on upload button from web page)

WinWaitActive("File Upload")

Send("C:\Temp\Test.txt")

Send("{ENTER}")

Write this code in Notepad and save the file as “Upload.au3”

Right Clicked on the created file “Upload.au3” and click on Compile Script.

You will get “Upload.exe” file

Call this file in Selenium script or in RFT script as below:

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Temp\\ Upload.exe");

Sample Selenium Code using AutoIt upload:

public class Upload {

public WebDriver driver;

@Before

public void setUp() throws Exception {

driver= new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

}

@Test

public void testTestScenario1() throws Exception

{

driver.get("http://www.2shared.com/");

driver.findElement(By.id("upField")).click();

Thread.sleep(5000);

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Temp\\Upload.exe");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@title='Upload file']")).click();

}

@After

public void tearDown() throws Exception {

driver.quit();

}

}
