Upload file in Selenium WebDriver in java using Robot Class

In this  example the selenium is not it self capable to handling the "Choose File" button which is located on link: http://my.naukri.com/manager/createacc2.php?othersrcp=11499&wExp=N

So we can use Point Position Tool to read the X & Y coordinate of "choose file" button. Then we will pass these X & Y coordinate to Robot Class in java & remaining  part will taken care by Robot class.

To Download Point Position toll click on: http://freewareapp.com/point-position_download/ this click.

Requirements:

• Eclipse IDE
• JUnit
• Selenium Standlone_2.40.0_server.jar
• Point Position Tool / Software

First we use the Point position Tool to compute the X & Y coordinate of "Choose file" button. Because  selenium WebDriver is not capable to handle this button or even identify. Because  its attribute type="file".

See the screenshot of it.

below is the screen shot for How to use the Point Position tool. To compute X & Y coordinate of choose File button on Naukri portal.

See Screen shot for It.

Next:

Open Eclipse IDE

Create a java Project

Create a package under the SRC Folder

Create a TestCase under the package

Write the below code in currently created TestCase.

Code:

Upload File Using Selenium WebdDriver in Java using AutoIt

Prerequisite:

1. Eclipse IDE
2. Point Position Tool
3. Autoit V3
4. AutoIt window info

Selenium is not able to identify the element or "Browse" button to click.
Example:
                 <input name="BROWSECV" id="browsecv" size="37"> </input>
or

 you can go to below link and inspect the browse button.
            Link:      http://my.naukri.com/manager/createacc2.php?othersrcp=11499&wExp=N

or see the screen shot to know more

To handle such situation in Selenium we have to use third Party Tools such as Point Position, Autoit etc...


Below is the example to handle above "Browse" button from above link.

First we can create a file in Autoit v3 to handle browse button.
open the SCiETE Script Editor
write the below code into it.

Code:
ControlFocus("Open","","Edit1")
ControlSetText("Open","","Edit1","D:\Avinash\FileUpload.txt")
ControlClick("Open","","Button1")

• Save above file named as - NaukriFileUpload.au3
• Go to file stored location and compile it.
• it will produces the NaukriFileUpload.exe

The parameters name "Open", "Edit1" , "Button1" in above code has been inspect it by using Autoit Window info tool.
We drag The option "Finder tool" from Autoit window info to "File Name" text box then "open" button to read Title. class &Instance parameter  information of each control on OpenfileDialog Window popup.
because we need these parameter information to AutoIt functions such as ControlFocus, ControlSettext etc...

See below screen shot to know more details:

Next:

Point Position:
     we use point position tool to identify the X & Y coordinate of Browse button from Naukri.com or above link.
then we will click it on that X,Y coordinate by using javas robot class.

See the screen shot, how to use Point Position tool

Next:   

    Open Eclipse IDE
    Create a Java project
    Create a package under Src folder.
    Create a Testcase
write the below code in that TestCase

package fileupload;

        selenium can not identify the Input tag having attribute as file. Also selenium is not able to handle windows popup like Open File Dialog.

Ex:

Prerequisite/Requirements:

1. Visual Studio

2. NUnit: Testing Framework.

3. Point Position software / Tool: To find the X and Y coordinate of "Browse" Button.    

   point Position Tool: download it from this link:  http://freewareapp.com/point-position_download/
   
   
   Point Position Tool:
       It is used to to find the x & y coordinate of any control with respect to scree resolution.
       It has four corner keep any corner on button or any control whose x & Y coordinates you want to   find and click it on corner. it will shows the x and y coordinate of it. 
   see in below screen shot.
   It shows the x & Y coordinate of Open button by using Point Position Tool which is present of OpenFileDialog Window.

Note:

1. Add another Class names as "MouseEvents.cs" in current project.
2. It handles the mouse click event by using C# low level Handle.

Select project -> Right click -> Add new Class -> Give Name as "MouseEvents.cs"

code:

using System;

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

            int x = Convert.ToInt16(xpos);  //set x position
            int y = Convert.ToInt16(ypos);  //set y position
            Cursor.Position = new Point(x, y);
            mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);  //make left button down
            mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);  //make left button up
        }
    }
}

Note: 
Download the Autoit Testing tool i.e. autoitau3
Install it.
open  the SCiTE Script Editor.
open the Autoit V3 Window info 

SCite Script Editor: 

•        It is used to write the script to handle windows open file dialog.
•        It will select the file to be Uploaded from the given file path.
•        it will upload the selected file by pressing "Open" button on fileDialog.

AutoIt V3 Window Info:

•       It is used to Identify the parameter or information of text box and open button on Filedialog.
•       It will gives the information of parameters like Title of FileDialog , class, Id of each control on a   OpenFileDialog.

Code in autoit:

1. Open SCiTE Script Editor.
2. Write below code:

ControlFocus("Open", "", "Edit1")
ControlSetText("Open", "", "Edit1", "D:\Avinash\FileUpload.txt")
ControlClick("Open", "", "Button1")

Save file as FileUpload.au3

Go to that file where above file is saved and right Click on it-> select Compile -> creates FileUpload.exe file.

Screen Shot to identify the above parameters like- "open"  , "Edit1"  , "Button1"  .

Here the chance to get an error: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

following Precaution to needs to be taken:

1. You should not store the file on a drive on which operating system has been already installed.
2. you should give the name other than the file which has been present already in that folder in which current file in storing .
