Forum: Mac Desktop Automation - Automate file uploads in Firefox and Chrome
The screencast is for this forum post: https://forum.ui.vision/t/chrome-upda...
It shows how to automate file uploads in Firefox and Chrome on the Mac via visual desktop automation. Kantu reads the screen and finds the right place to click.
Instead of sending the file path with XType as in Windows and Linux , on Mac we need to select the file from the dialog. For this we can use the new desktop automation feature of UI Vision. We switch the UI Vision eyes to desktop mode with XDesktopAutomation | true and then use either XClick | image of file name or (recommended) XClick |ocr=file name. This does a text search for the file name on the screen, finds it and then clicks it.
The remaining part of the macro is the same. We use XType to send ENTER, and all is done.
