How to use setFilesToUpload with a native OS file selector

[boerewors]

Because I am very inexperienced in these things I cannot seem to understand how to use setFilesToUpload to upload files for my test case.

In the pages I am testing the user has to first click on an area in a modal which then opens the native file selection window for the current OS.

I am assuming that this area has to be defined as a selector first. How would I use this command to send files and then click the Open button in the native file window (Windows 10)?

If I simply use .setFilesToUpload(selector, './_1.,mp3') with no click on the area statement first then I get

'The specified selector does not match a file input element.'

If I use .click(selector) and then .setFilesToUpload(selector, './_1.,mp3') then I get the same error.

If I use `.setFilesToUpload(selector('input'), './_1.,mp3') I also get the same result

Please help!

Solved: I just had to find the right selector in the chaos that is the outer HTML. The code I am testing is not my own. I had to find the selector that defines the input type that is allowed.
