CrossBrowserTesting - Record and Replay for Uploading File tests

Dear CBT support team,

As my investigation, Safari and MS Edge driver does not support for Upload File testing so that I want to find another option to test this functionality.

Could you please confirm if Record and Replay can help? I created script using Record and Replay and see that we have step Upload a file: file_example_JPG_100kB.jpg

I'm not clear how this step works, where the file should be located and is there any way to share a file from local machine so that the script can get the file each running correctly.

Thanks for any help!

      Hi Shane,

       

      Are you talking about file uploading via the browser's dialog using Selenium/Appium?

      If you are, then this is not possible because Selenium/Appium can interact with web pages only and have no access at all to the regular dialogs provided by browser/operating system.

      In order to implement file upload using Selenium/Appium you should look for the workaround that is applicable to your situation (e.g. direct post message or direct assignment of file full path to the relevant text field).
