Interacting with Chrome Modal Window - Add File (upload)

KerrieWhelan — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 15:25:00 GMT

Hi everyone. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. (I did spend some time Googling but have not found a solution so far.) Thanks so much for any advice.

I'm trying to interact with the "Add File" button in this modal window. However, nothing I've tried has successfully activated the "Add File" button.

We have BP Extension installed (V2.0.0.1)
We are running Chrome 76.0 in our BP environments.

Navigate stage looks like this.

Have you tried UIA spy mode so that you could try Global Mouse Click? That should do it if you can identify that element uniquely with UIA.

Hi Dave, thanks so much for the response. I just tried but unfortunately, UIA mode is only picking up the (entire) window and none of the unique elements on the page.

- Best,

Awesome! I was about to suggest that next. I just stay away from it in a browser if I can because it's so easy for a button to display differently based on zoom level, screen resolution, etc.

Ah! Good to know. I'll definitely keep that in mind. This is a one off migration process (which I have total control over) so we should be good in this particular case.

Again, many thanks for your time.
