How to do file upload in cucumber-js

Question

I want to write a script that fills out a form and uploads a file in cucumber-js,selenium,and protractor. whenever I click an upload file button though, there is no xpath/id/etc... to click on. How do you handle file uploads?

Answer 1

By the way uploading file has nothing to do with cucumberjs. Just send keys to input with type=file. Also make sure that file path is absolute. So a pure WebDriver code could be look like,

driver.findElement(wd.By.css('input[type=file]')).sendKeys('/absolute/path/to/my/file');
