Can I access an already opened file explorer via a Python Script


So, I have a button on a website which opens a instance of file explorer and I want to automatically select a file with a given directory. How am I able to do this via python?


Solution

  • you cannot access file explorer using selenium, you have to use tools like autoit ,

    one work around is to send file path to input element and click submit button

    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']").send_keys(r"full/filepath")
