Selenium Java - Handling Form Elements

What will be the result of the following code snippet if the file path is correct and the element is found?

WebElement upload = driver.findElement(By.name("uploadFile"));
upload.sendKeys("/home/user/docs/sample.pdf");
String value = upload.getAttribute("value");
System.out.println(value);

APrints the full file path: /home/user/docs/sample.pdf

BPrints the file name only: sample.pdf

CThrows NoSuchElementException

DPrints an empty string

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand getAttribute("value") on file input
After sendKeys, the value attribute usually contains only the file name, not full path, for security reasons.
Step 2: Analyze output of System.out.println(value)
The printed output will be the file name part: sample.pdf, not the full path or empty string.
Final Answer:
Prints the file name only: sample.pdf -> Option B
Quick Check:
getAttribute("value") returns file name [OK]

Quick Trick: getAttribute("value") on file input returns file name only [OK]
