Selenium Webdriver - click on hidden elements

Question

I am trying to automate upload file functionality in Google Drive.

The element used to pass parameters is hidden with height - 0px.

None of the user actions

Answer 1

Try this:

WebElement elem = yourWebDriverInstance.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='goog-menu goog-menu-vertical uploadmenu density-tiny']/input"));
String js = "arguments[0].style.height='auto'; arguments[0].style.visibility='visible';";

((JavascriptExecutor) yourWebDriverInstance).executeScript(js, elem);

The above bunch would change the visibility of your file input control. You can then proceed with the usual steps for file upload like:

elem.sendKeys(""); 

Be aware, by changing the visibility of an input field you are meddling with the application under test. Injecting scripts to alter behavior is intrusive and not recommended in tests.
