Hi All,

Uploading file issue still exists with Selenium IDE because of security issues with the browser(as far as i know), but currently we have moved to Selenium RC using C# and uploading file issue has been resolved with a third party tool called Autohotkey [THIS ONLY WORKS FOR IE, we are still trying to fix Firefox ].

If any one is struggling to upload a file in Selenium RC this is a good solution for Internet explorer.

I will come back with steps

@cakebaker : I m testing an application in which a pop up window comes up and i have to upload a file on that window. I tried using the above 2 fixes suggested by you. But its not working.
I get a similar file upload error as uploaded by Anu.

[error] Unexpected Exception: code -> 1000, INDEX_SIZE_ERR -> 1, DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR -> 2, HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR -> 3, WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR -> 4, INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR -> 5, NO_DATA_ALLOWED_ERR -> 6, NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR -> 7, NOT_FOUND_ERR -> 8, NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR -> 9, INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR -> 10, INVALID_STATE_ERR -> 11, SYNTAX_ERR -> 12, INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR -> 13, NAMESPACE_ERR -> 14, INVALID_ACCESS_ERR -> 15, VALIDATION_ERR -> 16, TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR -> 17, message -> Security error, result -> 2152924136, name -> NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR, filename -> null, lineNumber -> 0, columnNumber -> 0, location -> native frame :: :: :: line 0, inner -> null, data -> null

I m using selenium IDE 1.0.10 and firefox 3.6.17. Could u help out?
Also ,i edited the selenium-api.js file that i edited is at the path:

C:\Documents and Settings\saima\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\r8b1jve2.default\extensions\{a6fd85ed-e919-4a43-a5af-8da18bda539f}\chrome\content\selenium\scripts

Is this the correct path for selenium-api.js ?

@Jonathan: I can’t say anything about the fix by Prakash as I don’t work with C#…

1) Has anyone tried the above fix by Prakash using “public bool TypeIntoFileUpload” and did it work?

2) If yes, What are the details as to exactly this code integrated into the Selenium environment?

Thanks,

Jonathan

@Anu: Hm, does the problem still exist with firefox 3.6.8? You may also checkout the Selenium Users Group, maybe someone there experienced the same problem?

Yes, I did as we were asked to upgrade to latest fire fox version 3.6.7

@Anu: Hm, did you change anything in your environment (e.g. updating your browser)?
