Overview
Tests involving file uploads may fail after the file is successfully uploaded. This can occur if the file upload dialog remains open and interferes with subsequent steps.
How It Works
Below are the common solutions for resolving test failures that occur after a file upload action.
File Upload Popup Remains Open
The browser's native file upload dialog may not close automatically after the upload is complete. This can block the test from interacting with the main application window, causing the following steps to fail.
Solution:
- Navigate to the test step that performs the file upload.
- Open the Advanced Settings for that step.
- Find and enable the Close Upload Popup option.
This setting ensures the upload dialog is closed after the action, allowing the test to continue interacting with the application.
Limitations
This solution covers common file upload issues. Other factors, such as application-specific behavior or timing issues after an upload, may also cause test failures and require different troubleshooting steps.
