How to add multiple files in Selenium Web-driver using Java

In my case, I am already using a CSV file to fill data. So I made logic to add multiple files using the CSV file which I was using to add data (Form Filling).

Each Form filling data is stored in a row, so to fill new form I jumped to the next row and filled the form. So to add multiple files in a single form I added file paths like form data in a single row. So each cell in a row contains a separate file path. And then I fetched the file paths in a row using CSVReader & readNext for each and every cell I find the last cell in a row. That's how I was able to add multiple files.

Sample Code:-

for(int i=1 ;i<strs.size() ;i++) //loop for scanning row by row data
    {
        for(int j=7;j<=strs_2.length;j++) //loop for scanning multiple file paths in a single row
        {
             driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of element")).sendKeys(csvCell[(j)]);
        }
    }

It’s easy with sendKeys method to upload multiple file in one go. Just put a new line character “n ” between your files. See below sample code.

WebElement inputElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of input element"));
String uploadFilePath = "C:/myfile.txt";
String uploadFilePath2 = "C:/myfile2.txt";
String uploadFilePath3 = "C:/myfile3.txt";
inputElement.sendKeys(uploadFilePath + "n " + uploadFilePath2 + "n " + uploadFilePath3);

Important note: new line character is placed between your files, if you combine a string ending with a new line character then you will get the file not found error!

Hope it will help you

If you are looking for the multiple file upload just in one click of upload button, then hope this will work for you:-
