python - Selenium file upload url "path is not absolute" -


i'm trying upload file facebook group selenium chromedriver.

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']").send_keys("http://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/goat_2d00_list_2d00_1.jpg") 

but throws exception this:

selenium.common.exceptions.webdriverexception: message: unknown error: path not absolute:

i'm on windows 10, chrome 44.0.2403.130, chromedriver 2.16.333243, selenium 2.47.1

so how can upload images urls ? (without having explicitly download it)

nope, way can upload files from local machine:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']").send_keys("/path/to/the/file") 

download image first, upload. instance:

with urllib

import os import urllib  base_dir = "/path/to/dir/" path_to_image = os.path.join(base_dir, "upload.jpg")  urllib.urlretrieve("http://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/goat_2d00_list_2d00_1.jpg", path_to_image)  driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']").send_keys(path_to_image) 

with requests

import os import requests  base_dir = "/path/to/dir/" path_to_image = os.path.join(base_dir, "upload.jpg")  response = requests.get("http://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/goat_2d00_list_2d00_1.jpg")  if response.status_code == 200:     f = open(base_dir + path_to_image, 'wb')     f.write(response.content)     f.close()
