I'm trying to upload a file to the following website: kapwing.com/subtitles
I have:
driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.kapwing.com/subtitles")
pageSource = driver.page_source
splitted = pageSource.split(" ")
variable = splitted[2119]
final_variable = variable.split('"')[1]
time.sleep(5)
print(final_variable)
driver.find_element_by_id(final_variable).send_keys("/Users/xx/Desktop/lol.mp4")
but it says ID cannot be found. I would appreciate any help.
If you are trying to click on the upload button and then type out the location to your file in the popup, you are not going to be able to locate the textbox in the popup till you click it.
you could use this:
import keyboard
upload_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="upload-button-input-887ef963-27c3-46cc-8de5-dec5fc340dd7"]')
upload_button.click()
time.sleep(5)
keyboard.write('/Users/xx/Desktop/lol.mp4')
keyboard.press_and_release('return')
The webpage has input[type='file'] input field that means you can directly do .send_keys
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(input[type='file']).send_keys("/Users/xx/Desktop/lol.mp4")
PS time.sleep(5) is just for visibility purpose. You can remove that as well.
Try this one should work for you:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='upload-button-input-41d31461-54e1-47a3-978b-82b3077fe73e']")
element.send_keys("/Users/xx/Desktop/lol.mp4")
sendKeys function works for input tag. You need to find the element and send the location of file.
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[contains(@id,'upload-button-input')]")
element.send_keys("location of file.")
