Python selenium upload a file using windows browser

Question

I am working on a browser automation project in Python using selenium. I am trying to upload a picture to a page. I login, go to the page, and click the upload button. After cli

Here's an idea for doing a file upload without popping the chooser:

filename = 'x.jpg'
with open(filename, "rb") as file:
  content = base64.b64encode(file.read()).decode('utf8')
mimeType = "image/jpeg"
selector = "input[type=file]"

driver.execute_async_script("""
  const [filename, content, mimeType, selector, cb] = arguments

  const dt = new DataTransfer()
  const response = await fetch(`--data:${mimeType};base64,${content}`)
  const file = new File([await response.blob()], filename)
  dt.items.add(file)

  const element = document.querySelector(selector)
  element.files = dt.files
  element.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }))
  cb()
""", filename, content, mimeType, selector)

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('input[type=submit]').click()

Also you might want to think about switching to Puppeteer for things like this because Selenium is not likely to ever have a good implementation of this.
