Error uploading local file to web app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Can anyone help with the following errors I'm getting when I try to upload a local file in a web app please?

 

If I use the 'send keys' command I get this error -

"Failed to set the 'value' property on 'HTMLInputElement'. This input element accepts a filename, which may only be programmatically set to the empty string."

 

If I use the 'type' command I get this error -

"Unable to upload files due to cross origin frames in the page"

 

I know this is possible because I had it working in a previous environment (which has since been deleted).  I thought I might just need to add a 'select frame' beforehand, but the 'type' command just hangs when I do that.

 

I have the 'Allow access to file URLs' option in the Selenium extension enabled.

 

Any help appreciated!!  Thanks.
