I am working on a project to upload a picture on my facebook page using python selenium. I open the browser using selenium, login, open my page, click the upload button. At this point, a windows file browser pops up and prompts me to enter filename.
The code snippet which clicks on the Upload button and opens the file browser is:
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a._3m1z'))).click()
However, after doing some research, I found that I can use the send_keys function to provide the path to the webdriver for the file. The code for this should be:
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a._3m1z'))).send_keys("a.jpg")
However, this line (with the send keys option gives an error:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
The HTML for the page is as follows (highlighted is the button I want to press and give the file path to)
Can someone tell me whats going on, and how do I give the image path to the webdriver?
I am using python 3.7
