Hi,

How to selecting dinamic file in file upload dialog?

CASE:
I want select 40 file inside folder with different ( different name ). I want repeating this action with another 40 file.

Any hand?

Hi,

The easiest way (no scripting required) is to use the excel/csv file filled with individual paths. But this approach is only good in case the batch of files does not change during the time. In other words, you have the same batch of files you want to repeatedly test with each new AUT version. Eventually, if you can prepare new excel/csv before running new test.

Just create an excel/csv file with just one column, where each row contains one path. Column header set with something like "File Paths" or anything else you want. Now connect the excel/csv column "File Paths" to a variable. Then use this variable in "Set Value" action, where the content of the variable is passed to the File Open input field.

For a more detailed explanation how to do everything I described above, check this data-driven automation video...

In case you want to dynamically read the content of a particular folder and then load individual files, you will have to use an advanced technique, requiring some serious scripting and good knowledge of C#/VB .NET. I'm sorry, I can't help here.
