I'm trying to upload file using katalon studio for automation testing (web Testing. After clicking on 'Browse' button the windows popup is opened but i can't choose photo or go to specific path. I found a command WebUI.UploadFile() but I think I'm not using it correctly.
If anyone had something like this, please share your experience. How could i do this in katalon?
First, create a keyword to the file upload button or link, something like: “Object Repository/Page_Add_Document_To_Current_Account/lnk_choose_a_file”
Next, create a method call for which will handle the upload, like class uploadNewFile {
/** This method will be used to upload file */ @Keyword def uploadFileToTest(TestObject to, String filePath){ WebUI.click(to) WebUI.delay(3) //i’d recommend adding this delay to give the code time to run StringSelection ss = new StringSelection(filePath) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null) WebUI.delay(2) //same reason as above
Robot robot = new Robot() robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); } }
Next, call the method where it needs to be in your code and it will appear something like: *CustomKeywords.‘methodCalls.uploadNewFile.uploadFileToTest’(findTestObject(**null), ‘’)***
Next, replace null in 3 above with the keyword you created in 1 above, then insert the filepath of the file to be uploaded into the ‘’ in 3 above.
The final statement would be something like: CustomKeywords.‘methodCalls.uploadNewFile.uploadFileToTest’(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_Add_Document_To_Current_Account/lnk_choose_a_file’), ‘C:\Users\…\Documents\…\…\TestFile.txt’)
All the best
