I'm trying to upload a file to a form using Selenium using this code on eclipse:
search = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#type='file']")
search.send_keys("D:/test.txt")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
This error keeps showing up:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: File not
found: D:/test.txt
The file is in place, where do you think the problem is?
I guess the reason is within the slash used in the path - I think it requires a backslash instead.
What if you try to use search.send_keys("D:\\test.txt")? Not sure if double backslash is required for that, so you can try with single one as well.
EDIT
I tried my own code on simple form with just the input[type=file] and with Submit button:
search = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#type='file']")
search.send_keys("F:\\test.txt")
submit = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type=submit]")
submit.click()
And somehow, it worked just fine, just had to escape backslash and to use Submit button instead of using ENTER button.
So make sure your file is actually there, within the path you posted, and such code (at least on Windows) works just fine. Also, you should make sure you have permission to this file.

How do I display a text that I copied with the function send_keys (Keys.CONTROL, "v") to display it with the print command?
Try to get an input and save it to a variable.
Like this:
your_text = driver.find_element_by_id("my_id").get_attribute("value")
print(your_text)
No, you can't do this with selenium alone. Selenium is a browser control and the clipboard is a system level process. You would need to involve other software to properly manipulate the clipboard.

Preface: I am a beginner to Python
Problem statement: I am writing a script wherein I will be launching an application (Gotit.exe) sitting at particular path lets say D:\Some Folder\SomeMore Folder\AgainFolder\myPythonFolder\Gotit.exe. I have kept the python-script also in myPythonFolder.
I am accessing the folder path via os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) and selecting particular application by appending it with \Gotit.exe but when passing the same appended string stored in a variable i.e. GotitexePath to os.system(GotitexePath) its throwing error as,
'D:\Some ' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.**
Kindly help me out to solve the said issue
I am using python 3.8.2 on Win10 Machine
The error is pointing to Some Folder name. Since there is a space in path you provide, the system doesn't know whether it is a part of folder name or it is a next argument to the command.
You need to escape the blank space. There are multiple ways to to it. For example wrap the path with double quotes:
"D:\Some Folder\SomeMore Folder\AgainFolder\myPythonFolder\Gotit.exe"
For more ways see this post
os.system("\"%s\"" % GotitexePath)
A the previous replies say, you need to add additional quotation marks around the path for the windows command line.
So I am learning Python through Udemy tutorials and now I need to open a file through CMD(CMD is opened on folder I need) and when I am typing function for opening file it says syntax error, but I have made everything good what a guy on tutorials says, I really don't know what what should I do, I checked all of the forums and still cant find the answer.
Here are some screenshots:
Couple of issues:
1.Your text file is called "example.txt.txt" instead of "example.txt"
2.The "example.txt","r" should be surrounded with brackets () instead of <>. These symbols look similar in cmd and are easy to confuse.
#instead of
file = open<"example.txt","r">
#use
file = open("example.txt","r")
This should fix your problem; let me know if it does.
You have to use parenthesss () not <>
file = open("example.txt","r")

My current work project is on writing a Python program that must at various points rely on R. Since I don't know R so well, and the person helping me doesn't know Python so well, the actual R code is not in my program. Instead, he opened Notepad, put the R code in there, and saved it as (name).r. When executed, the output is written into a txt file, which Python can then read.
All I have to do is ask Python to ask R to run (name).r
I've tried using subprocess.run. That worked for awhile, and then for some unknown reason stopped working and now does nothing. Then I tried using rpy2, which also worked for awhile; but now it looks like the installation is broken and I'm having trouble getting it reinstalled.
I'd like to give a 3rd option a try now: PypeR. I used pip install pyper. Looked like it was successful.
To keep things simple, I opened Notepad and typed in the following, and saved it as hello.r:
message <- 'goodbye'
write.table(message,'C:/Users/(my name)/Desktop/(folder)/goodbye.txt',row.names=FALSE,col.names=FALSE)
Manually opening R and copy-pasting the lines in one-at-a-time does indeed work. But I'm having trouble getting it to work from Python. Here are some things I've tried (I always put import pyper at the top):
pyper.runR("source('C:/Users/(muy name)/Desktop/(folder)/hello.r')")
This gives NameError: name 'dump_stdout' is not defined
pyper.R("source('C:/Users/(my name)/Desktop/(folder)/hello.r')")
This gives FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
r=pyper.R("C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.1/bin/i386/Rgui.exe")
r("source('C:/Users/(my name)/Desktop/(folder)/hello.r')")
This causes RGui to open up with a blank R Console. And then nothing happens. When I click back to Python, the console shows Python is busy until I click the halt button, whereupon I get "OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
What is the correct way to execute hello.r?
Thank you
Looks like I got it. This works:
r=pyper.R(RCMD="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.1/bin/R")
r.run("source('C:/Users/(my name)/Desktop/(folder)/hello.r')")
I was having difficulty converting a program I made to a cgi script. I suspected it was to do with os.walk so I made a smaller test script to test this.
(I noticed the single \ before the D in the variable loc and tried changing that to a double \ still no change)
Produces no errors cant tell why it doesn't run the for loop with os.walk in the browser.
I tried adding some data into s and run for loop printing of contents of it and that worked fine, but trying to do it on os.walk I can't seem to get it to work. I can't find anything relating to the issue on google or stackoverflow.
Below is the code:
import cgi,cgitb,os
loc = "C:\\Users\\wen\Desktop\\sample data\\old py stuff\\"
cgitb.enable(display=1,logdir=loc)
s = []
print("Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n")
print("<html>")
print("<body>")
print("<p>"+loc+"</p>")
for r,ds,fs in os.walk(loc):
print("<p>omgwtf</p>")
for f in fs:
s.append(f)
for i in s:
print("<p>"+i+"</p>")
print("</body>")
print("</html>")
Took a screenshot, the output in interpreter on the left and browser on right

I'm pretty sure I've solved the problem, I needed to give the folders permissions for 'Authenticated users'.
