FileInput

FileInput – special text-field that accepts file-paths and which is used for uploading documents.

Perhaps, it’s not widely utilized by users, but for needs of test automation, pasting a file-path is a more convenient way of uploading documents, than having to deal with system’s dialogue windows.

Example:

JDI enables simple ways of interaction with text-fields, such as text input, text removal and cursor focus on chosen field.

Here is the list of available methods.

Method	Description	Return Type
input(String)	Input text in textfield	void
newInput(String)	Clear and input text in textfield	void
clear()	Clear textfield	void
focus()	Focus (click) on textfield	void

FileInput Initialization:

@FindBy(xpath = "//file-input xpath")
public FileInput fileInput;

Action > Examples:

@Test
public void newInputExample() {
    Assert.assertTrue(!fileInput.getText().equals("")
    String path = "some path";
    fileInput.newInput(path);
    Assert.assertEquals(fileInput.getText(), path);
}
