Page.waitForFileChooser() method

This method is typically coupled with an action that triggers file choosing.

:::caution

This must be called before the file chooser is launched. It will not return a currently active file chooser.

:::

Signature:

class Page {
  waitForFileChooser(options?: WaitTimeoutOptions): Promise<FileChooser>;
}

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
options WaitTimeoutOptions (Optional)

Returns:

Promise<FileChooser>

Remarks

In non-headless Chromium, this method results in the native file picker dialog not showing up for the user.

Example

The following example clicks a button that issues a file chooser and then responds with /tmp/myfile.pdf as if a user has selected this file.

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