Selenium FileUpload accept() is not clicking button












0















Having opened the file chooser dialog in IE,



self.webDiver.switch_to_alert().accept()


Tried the above line but does not click the open button.




IE Version 11.2580.14393.0;



Windows Server 2016 Standard




The dialog that gets displayed is "Choose File to Upload", this dialog has a File name text box with a Combobox + Open button as well as an Open button that is a SplitButtonControl with options to Open/Open readonly or save as previous version.

current Workaround is to use uiautomation:



import uiautomation as automation

print(automation.GetRootControl())
uiWindow = automation.WindowControl(searchDepth = 2, Name = 'Choose File to Upload')
print(uiWindow.Name)
uiWindow.SetTopmost(True)
fileName = uiWindow.EditControl(searchDepth = 4,Name = 'File name:')
fileName.SendKeys("State of testing.MicroFocus.pdf")
openFile = uiWindow.SplitButtonControl(searchDepth = 3,Name = 'Open')
openFile.Click()
