Upload a file using Playwright python
Let us now see how to upload a file using PW python.
We will upload a test file from our local machine to the below site
https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/upload
First we will choose a file and click ‘Upload’.
Inspect ‘Choose File’ button
In the previous blog we had downloaded a file under ‘downloads’ folder, let us rename the file. We will upload this file
Just like we have seen earlier, let us create ‘current working directory path’ and join this path with the file we want to upload
Now we can use the set_input_files() method that accepst 2 arguments: locator and filepath
Save and execute
Notice that the file can be seen next to ‘Choos File’ button
After setting the input file, we will click ‘Upload’ button
The code snippet looks like below:
Save and execute.
Observe below that the file gets uploaded
This is how we can upload the file using PW.
Code snippet
import os
from playwright.sync_api import Playwright, sync_playwright, expect
def run(playwright: Playwright) -> None:
browser = playwright.chromium.launch(headless=False)
context = browser.new_context()
page = context.new_page()
page.goto("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/upload")
current_working_dir = os.getcwd()
file_path = os.path.join(current_working_dir, "downloads/fileToUpload.txt")
page.set_input_files('#file-upload', file_path)
page.locator("text = Upload").last.click()
page.wait_for_timeout(10000)
# ---------------------
context.close()
browser.close()
with sync_playwright() as playwright:
run(playwright)
