FileChooser class

File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file.

Signature:​

export declare class FileChooser

Remarks​

FileChooser instances are returned via the Page.waitForFileChooser() method.

In browsers, only one file chooser can be opened at a time. All file choosers must be accepted or canceled. Not doing so will prevent subsequent file choosers from appearing.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the FileChooser class.

Example​

const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForFileChooser(),
  page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);

Methods​
