One solution for File Upload using Java Robot API with Selenium WebDriver by Java

by

Actually, there is an in-built technique for this, too. It should work in all browsers and operating systems.

Selenium 2 (WebDriver) Java example:

// assuming driver is a healthy WebDriver instance
WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type="file"]"));
fileInput.sendKeys("C:/path/to/file.jpg");

The idea is to directly send the absolute path to the file to an element which you would usually click at to get the modal window – that is <input type="file" /> element.
