Handle windows file upload using Selenium Web Driver?

Question

I want to upload the picture so that I can access it in my project, I have used the sendKeys("path of the picture") but by using it no action is performed, please guide me, how to use the window pop up to upload the picture or give some idea, how can I upload the picture:

WebElement Account_logo = adriver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='step1']/div[1]/div/div/div/form/div[12]/div[1]/div/div/span/div[2]/div[2]"));  
Account_logo.click();
Account_logo.sendKeys("C:/Users/romit/Desktop/LOGO.jpg");

on which browser you are testing this scenario ? Have you tried autoIT or robot class ? — cruisepandey

AFAIK, a <div> tag won't accept a filename. Perhaps you have to use the file picker. — undetected Selenium

When setting the file path in your Java IDE, use the proper escape character for the back-slash.

Account_logo.sendKeys("C:\\Users\\romit\\Desktop\\LOGO.jpg");

Hope it helps !

If you want to upload a file, without having 'input' element, please refer SO Post
