Upload a file

Set a file <input type="file"> directly — no brittle OS file-picker automation. BasePage exposes an upload(By, path) helper:

UploadPage.java

import com.seleniumboot.test.BasePage;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;

public class UploadPage extends BasePage {

    public void attachResume(String path) {
        upload(By.id("file-input"), path);   // sets the input's value directly
        click(By.id("submit"));
    }
}

// From your test:
new UploadPage().attachResume("testfiles/resume.pdf");  // classpath-relative
new UploadPage().attachResume("/absolute/path/to/photo.png");

• The path may be classpath-relative (e.g. testfiles/resume.pdf) or absolute. Selenium Boot resolves it and fails fast with a clear error if the file doesn't exist.
• Works with hidden/off-screen inputs — it sets the input value, so no visible dialog is required.
• For a multiple upload, pass separated paths to the input as your app expects, or call the helper per file.

tip

Uploads go through a page object because upload(...) is a BasePage helper. Keep the file under src/test/resources so the classpath-relative path works on any machine and in CI.
