I am clicking on a upload button which opens up a windows file selector. I am not able to write the path to a file in that File Selector dialog using protractor.

I tried copying the text to the clipboard and pasting the same to File Upload by passing ctrl+v keypress in protractor. Able to copy the text but paste is not working.

Now I have also used robot-js but not helping me Any idea how can we do this in protractor?

  • I don't know if libraries for this exist but I would recommend to just simulate the file upload since protractor is made for testing in the browser. => stackoverflow.com/questions/21305298/… just a thought. Commented Jul 25, 2018 at 12:26

  • The question that Silvan referenced is the only way to upload a file in protractor. If this isn't working for you create a new question with the errors you get from using that method so we can help you with that. Commented Jul 25, 2018 at 14:44

Send keys to the input element with your file path, it will do the same flow without opening the windows file pop up
