Instance Method Details

#attach_file([locator], path, **options) ⇒ Capybara::Node::Element

Find a file field on the page and attach a file given its path. The file field can be found via its name, id or label text. In the case of the file field being hidden for styling reasons the ‘make_visible` option can be used to temporarily change the CSS of the file field, attach the file, and then revert the CSS back to original.

page.attach_file(locator, '/path/to/file.png')

If the driver is capable of executing JavaScript, ++ will wait for a set amount of time and continuously retry finding the element until either the element is found or the time expires. The length of time find will wait is controlled through Capybara.default_max_wait_time

Parameters:

  • locator (String) —

    Which field to attach the file to

  • path (String) —

    The path of the file that will be attached, or an array of paths

Options Hash (**options):

    Maximum time to wait for matching element to appear.

  • match (Symbol) — default: Capybara.match —

    The matching strategy to use (:one, :first, :prefer_exact, :smart).

  • exact (Boolean) — default: Capybara.exact —

    Match the exact label name/contents or accept a partial match.

  • multiple (Boolean) —

    Match field which allows multiple file selection

  • id (String) —
