Method setFilesToUpload stop working

[gnig]

What is your Scenario?

Hi all, i would like to ask you to help me to solve something strange :)

Method setFilesToUpload sstop working.

I have web application with form where i want to upload file.

<div class="col-md-12" ng-show="attachmentType" style="">
                        <file-upload ng-model="fileArray" accept=".pdf" label="inputLabel" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-isolate-scope ng-not-empty"><div class="custom-file">
    <input type="file" class="custom-file-input ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-not-empty" lang="cs" accept=".pdf" ng-model="fileArray" ng-change="change()" custom-file-input="">
    <label class="custom-file-label ng-binding" for="customFile">Drag or select file to upload</label>
</div></file-upload></div>

Then iam using next code that will insert specific filename from local storage to this window

const finput = Selector('input[type="file"]')
await t.setFilesToUpload(finput,'myFile.pdf')

And this wokring until upgrading testcafe to 3+ version I have tried every 3* version, but problem persisting.

Hello @gnig,

I tested your example, and the file is uploaded. To check upload input, I added some uploadInput.value logs to your test:

const finput = Selector('input[type="file"]')
await t.setFilesToUpload(finput,'myFile.pdf')
console.log(await finput.value)

Please refer the following help topic to learn how to observe the state of the input element.

However, to investigate your scenario, we need a more detailed example.

Please let us know your results.

I tried to reproduce the issue with the scenario you described, but I couldn't replicate the error. However, we encountered a similar issue previously, which was related to lite-server, which utilizes browser-sync. You can try the solution described in the thread.

If that doesn't work, please share a Minimal Working Example, so that our team can research the issue and help you.
