Python uses Webdriver to process uploading files (using AutoIt)

First, preface

When you use Python+webdriver for Web automation, you cannot handle the upload of a local file through Webdriver. This is a need for third-party tools to resolve this issue. The following describes how this tool (AutoIt) is used.

Second, the use of AutoIt

2.1, AutoIt download and installation

After downloading, directly click the exe file to install, here I will not be a chicken.

2.2, the use of AutoIt

After installation, in the computer All programs will be with the AutoIt V3 folder, open, there will be AutoIt Window Info (x64), Compile script to the. exe (x64), SciTE Script Editor three launcher program (Win7 , Win10 Click Start-All Programs, win8 to go to the program one by one search it), if not, you re-install it.

Sleep (2000)

; Click on the Open button
Controlclick ("File Upload", "", "Button1");

2.2.3, Compile Script to. exe (x64)

Use this tool to turn the above upfile.au3 into an executable EXE file

At this point, you have taken care of the local upload problem, and then only need to call this EXE executable in the script to

The Python script invocation example is as follows:
