File Upload Testing in Nightwatch.js

Question

I\'d like to reopen the question posed here and here about testing file uploading within Nightwatch.js which uses selenium.

Both links have the recommended solutio

Answer 1

In my case, I had an additional problem because the file I was trying to upload was too high up in my directory structure.

As soon as I moved the file to the same level (or in a subdirectory of) the actual test files, things worked.

From a script living in my page-objects folder:

// No dice:
var fullPath = require('path').resolve(__dirname + '/../../somefile.pdf');

// Works:
var fullPath = require('path').resolve(__dirname + '/../somefile.pdf');

this.setValue('input#fileUpload', fullPath);
