Selenium Java - Handling Form Elements

You have this Selenium code:

driver.findElement(By.name("fileUpload")).sendKeys("document.pdf");

The test throws InvalidArgumentException. What is the most probable cause?

AThe element locator is incorrect and does not find the input element.

BThe file path is relative and not absolute, causing the exception.

CThe file input element is disabled and cannot accept input.

DThe file format PDF is not supported by Selenium sendKeys.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify cause of InvalidArgumentException
This exception often occurs when the file path passed to sendKeys is invalid.
Step 2: Check file path format
Selenium requires an absolute file path, not a relative one like "document.pdf".
Final Answer:
The file path is relative and not absolute, causing the exception. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use absolute file path for sendKeys [OK]

Quick Trick: sendKeys needs absolute file path, not relative [OK]
