We are currently utilizing Selenium BDD scenarios on a Selenium Grid with Chrome browsers and Windows operating systems for the node machines. One of our scenarios involves uploading multiple files to a webpage. Here is the code I am using for remote execution:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("'fileUploadField'"));
((RemoteWebElement) element).setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector());
element.sendKeys("<absolute path of files separated by '\n'>");
When running this code locally and providing absolute file paths separated by '\n' to the 'sendKeys' method, it works perfectly fine and uploads all files to the webpage.
The issue arises during Selenium Grid execution where the same approach fails without any errors being shown by Selenium. It seems like the file paths are not recognized. How can I make this work for remote execution as well? Essentially, the goal is to send the files through the grid to the node machine and have them uploaded to the webpage. The above code works for remote execution if only one file path is provided.
Is there a known bug with Selenium related to this issue?
