[Wtr-general] open file with file_field

[Zeljko Filipin]

Try this (make sure you have 'file.txt' in 'C:\'):
 
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.start('http://validator.w3.org/')
ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\file.txt')
 
There seems to be a bug when path contains spaces:
 
1) this works just fine
ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\Temp\file.txt')
 
2) this returns error (in pop up window with title 'Choose file') -
C:\Documents File not found. Please verify the correct file name was given.
ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\Documents and Settings\file.txt')
 
So, for now, until bug is removed, just make sure your files for upload do
not have spaces in path.

How can I open a file by using a file_field?

If I use:

ie.file_field(:name, fieldname).set(complete path)

I get the normal Windows- "Open file"-dialog. How can I now select a file,
or type the name using watir?

Or must I use something different?

Thanks!
