File Upload using Robot Class in Selenium will discuss about how we can upload a file into web application while automating the application using selenium webdriver. As we know that selenium webdriver automates only browsers (i.e. web applications only). But sometimes we might need to automate windows based applications/popups such as upload a file or download a file etc…
But selenium can not handle these kind of scenarios. So, we will use some third party tools to automate these type of functionality. Especially uploading a file is one of the scenarios we will face while automating most of the applications. For this we will depend mostly some third party tools like AutoIt and Sikuli.
But in this blog we will NOT look into Sikuli or AutoIt to automate file upload functionality in selenium webdriver. Instead we will see one of the Java classes called Robot. Robot is a class in the AWT package of Java, by using this we can handle window based applications/popups. Now we use this provision to automate file upload functionality in selenium webdriver.
If you use some third-party tools, those are extra burden to the code or framework. And sometimes these are not compatible with the tools which we use to build the application.
So, we can use this Robot class to avoid those kind of scenarios. Basically Robot class will simulate the Keyboard and mouse actions. So, we can use the Robot class methods to handle these kind of scenarios.
thanks it was a great help god bless u Krishna

Hi Krishna, thanks for the lesson it was really good and it worked perfectly on my test cases. I have one question about it. It worked fine in my local machine but how would this work in a continuous integration process? If I have to run this on Jenkins the results would be the same? Thank you and congrats again.
I never tried. Will let you know when I do it.
I appreciate that. Your video helped me out so much with an issue I was facing and being disturbed for weeks. But I still have the CI process I have to complete and I'm not sure how to handle it using the same process you used here.
Thanks again for answer me back.

Hi sir nice video. But how to use the robot class for file upload in mac
Thanks Krishna, for nice explanation. But when I tried to use the robot class to upload the file I am facing the below issue.
I could not able to access other applications when the script fails or if I terminated the execution before the robot class executes, why I am suspecting this reason could be robot class, without robot class in my script I have terminated the script n number of times where I want and continue to proceed further. But now even I could not able to access none of the applications in my system.Please can you help me to resolve this issues?

Hi krishna, Thanks for your video.. I have tried it with my application it's working fine, but sometimes the default cursor is not in the file name input box, it's in search bar on the top right corner of our desktop window, so it puts the path over there and got failed for me,.. My question is how to set or check the default cursor in the file name box or not, before i put the path of that file in it? Then it makes sense for my application to work i think... Give me an idea krishnan.. Please..
Have you found this solution i am getting th same issue cursor not set in file name
Can you please help without copy pasting the file-path .
Instead pass the file path from a variable
