💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() instead of sendKeys() to upload a file.

Trying to use getText() which only reads text, not uploads files.

The sendKeys method is used to simulate typing the file path into the file input element, which triggers the file upload.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using By.id when the element does not have an id attribute.

Using By.className or By.tagName which do not match the element uniquely.

The By.name locator finds elements by their name attribute, which is 'uploadFile' in this case.

Common Mistakes

Using click() which only clicks the element but does not upload.

Using getAttribute() which reads attributes but does not upload.

sendKeys is the correct method to input the file path into the file input element for uploading.

Fill both blanks to locate the file input by CSS selector and upload the file.

Selenium Java

WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.[1]("[2]"));
fileInput.sendKeys("C:/files/test.png");

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using xpath locator but providing a CSS selector string.

Using class selector when the element has an id.

By.cssSelector("#fileUpload") locates the element with id 'fileUpload'. Then sendKeys uploads the file.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to find the file input by XPath, clear it, and upload a file.

Selenium Java

WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.[1]("[2]"));
input.[3]();
input.sendKeys("/home/user/image.jpg");

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B//input[@type='file']

Cclear

Dclick

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() instead of clear() before sendKeys.

Using incorrect XPath expression.

By.xpath("//input[@type='file']") finds the file input element. clear() empties any existing value before sending the new file path.
