I am automating one web application. In that, I have to Automate one module which is file upload. When selenium clicks on upload button of application, in that case window which consist all the file displays. So there I want to go to specific folder , So I can select required file. By default there is no search button is coming in the upload dialogue, if it will be there then I can directly send the file path using sendKeys().

Any way to handle this situation or anyone has faced same kind of issue.

Use below logic to upload file

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[id='sql-file-upload'][type='file']")).sendKeys("/home/test/updaloadThis.jpg");

You can directly send the file absolute path to file upload locator.

What is happening if you do like that ? Is that locator correct ? Post your html code for that file upload operation. – Santoshsarma Jun 23 at 7:16
    
<input id="sql-file-upload" class="upload" type="file" name="attachments"> this is the html code for that file upload. I think we can use sendKeys only when search option is visible. – Saurabh Garg Jun 23 at 9:06
