Hi,
I am a new user to Sahi, and was trying to upload file using _setFIle.
But still i am not able to browse the file.
here is my code :
function upload()
{
_click(_button("Upload Document"));
_setSelected(_select("documentTypeId"), "Bvf Document");
_setFile(_file("document"), "C:\\Documents and Settings\\bsundharesan\\Desktop\\test.pdf");
if(_isIE())
{
_call(_file("document").outerHTML=_file("document").outerHTML.replace(/type=file/,"type=text"));
}
else
{
_call(_file("file").type="text");
}
_click(_submit("Upload"));
_click(_button("Close"));
}
the error log file in the line _setSelected(_select("documentTypeId"), "Bvf Document");
states as :
Window/Domain not found: popupNameFromStep=; derivedName=File Upload; windowName=; windowTitle=File Upload; wasOpened=1; domain=
Also there are there are javascript checks before submit to see if the filename is non-empty. So is this possible to browse file and upload using Sahi.
can anybody help me with this, Based on this i must select this tool for my application.
Thank you

It looks like a new window is opened when you click on Upload document. If that is the case, you need to add _popup("") before the steps that happen on the newly opened window.

Thanks for the help.
The code with _popup("") worked, but only partial.
Becaue everthing works except that the path doesnot gets pasted in the textbox. And if i place manually the path then file gets uploaded and it works.
I tried
_setValue(_textbox("documentTypeName"),"C:\\Documents and Settings\\bsundharesan\\Desktop\\test.pdf");
But it did not work and script fails.
Can u what is the change needs to be done.
