Re: file name change when using attachFile()

It is well define btw I ll explain again:

 

1. I want to upload file through browse element of my web application.

2. the file name which I am attaching is image.gif

3. when manually I select the image.gif from file dialog, the proper file name image.gif displays

4. But when I do it through selenium attachFile(), the file name changed to "se-531411945.file"

5. I observed that when I select file from file dialog, the file path is temp folder of windows dir (means the file temprorily store in temp file)

 

I hope you got it.

Re: file name change when using attachFile()

I am also facing the same issue. I am using old classic yahoo mail compose feature.

selenium.attachFile("uploadfile","http://www.google.co.in/intl/en/privacy.html");

the file attached to mail with name sel-12424.html.

 

This is something making the function unusable. Please let confirm whethere is it a bug or do we need to change anything to preserve original file name.
