How to upload file Dynamically through AutoIt Script in Selenium?

Question

Below are my AutoIt Script :

ControlFocus("Open","","Edit1")
ControlSetText("Open","","Edit1","C:\\project\\data\\data.csv")
ControlClick("Open","","Button1")

And Converting the file to exe which is used in the java file as below.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\project\\script\\TestAutoIt3.exe");

Now I have to upload 10 files, I have two Questions here:

Can I pass the fileName dynamically and create exe files?
If I want to run this script in others system , the exe file will not work because the project might be in some other path. How can I handle this?

Thanks in Advance?

Do you want to upload files via webUI? Why not to upload files with selenium only? — Andersson

To upload file using Selenium + Java you need below code:

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://page.com");  // This is the page with file upload field
WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']"));
fileInput.sendKeys("C:\\Path\\To\\File.jpg");

Thanks Andresson, But how can we solve if my input type is button and it is opening a browse window?

Andersson Over a year ago

Yes, it looks like browse or upload button (actually it's <input type="file"> HTML element). It used to receive path to file. And you can handle it in mentioned way. Have you already tried my code?

There was a bug in the product. Now your code work like a champ. Thanks a lot.

Please use the answer given from Andersson, So that there is no headache of maintaining autoIt Files(exe/au3). And no extra work needed if you are using your code in someone else systems.
