Additionally, with this new commands, there is another new command useful to set a base folder where GXtest will use to select files in case you want to use only file names or relative paths in your FileUploadBy commands.

SetFileUploadBasePath

image_202092918349_1_png

Sets a default base directory where FileUpload commands will be looking at files for upload when a relative path is used as FileName parameter.

Parameters:

  • FileName: a directory path where testing resources are placed.

Example:

&driver.SetFileUploadBasePath("C:\\testingFiles\\")

&driver.FileUploadByName("fileUploadName", "fileName.extension")

 

Notes:

- File upload base path is set automatically through its corresponding environment level property but also you can use this command for a specific test. 

-  "File Upload Base Path" property, "SetFileUploadBasePath" and "FileUploadBy" commands does not validate if the path set is valid. For this, it is necessary to carry out validations (Assertions, GetValue, Verify, Contains, EndsWith, etc.) to verify that the file uploaded correctly or not. For Example:

&driver.FileUploadByName("fileUploadVar", "C:\testingResources\userForm.pdf")

if (&driver.GetValueByName("fileUploadVar").EndsWith("userForm.pdf")) 
    // File loaded successfully
else
    // File not loaded
endif
