    Hi jeevarathinams,

    Could you please be more specific on what you say "it populate new browse window".

    Also, are you trying to set a file after you click on the browse button? If so then kindly have a look at _setFile() .

    Here are the details:

    Let me know if you face any problem.

    Hi Sumitra,

    Please find the below scenario,

    Scenario1 : While recording a script When i click a browse button in web page to upload a file , sahi controller does not records the click event on a browse button. But here i have done a click event on a browse button to upload a .Wav file in a web page. When we select a .Wav file from File upload pop-up window, Sahi controller records it as "_setFile(_file("file2"), "hold_message.wav");". While playback the script, Sahi shows a failure message.

    Scenario2: While recording a script When i click a browse button in web page to upload a file , it pops-up a new window to upload a file(i.e. File upload window), sahi controller does not records the objects in the pop-up window.

    Could you please provide me a solution for the above two issues.?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi jeevarathinams,

    This is how Sahi works for file upload:

    In Sahi, you dont have to click on the browser button. You just have to use the _setFile() API which is used to set a file in the file input field.

    Form elements of type “file” cannot be populated using javascript on the browser.
    So Sahi has a workaround for handling file uploads.
    Sahi intercepts the request in the proxy, reads the file off the file system and inserts it into the multipart request.
    The file has to be present on that path on the machine running the proxy.

    Also, have a look at http://sahi.co.in/w/_setFile

    Here is an example and explanation:

    Try the following code:
    _navigateTo("http://sahi.co.in/demo/php/fileUpload.htm");
_setFile(_file("file"), "E:\\M1F1-Alaw-AFsp.wav");
       // Change the "type" attribute of file field
    if (_isIE()){
        _call(_file("file").outerHTML = _file("file").outerHTML.replace(/type=file/, "type=text"));
        _call(_textbox("file").value= "E:\\M1F1-Alaw-AFsp.wav");
    }else{
        _call(_file("file").type = "text");
    }
        // Set the value into the textbox
    _setValue(_textbox("file"), "E:\\M1F1-Alaw-AFsp.wav");
_click(_submit("Submit Array"));

    For the second scenario its the same thing which i have explained above.

    Let me know if you face any problem.
