class FileDetector
- Alias for
webdriver.FileDetector
Used with WebElement#sendKeys on file input elements (<input type="file">) to detect when the entered key sequence defines the path to a file.
By default, WebElement's will enter all key sequences exactly as entered. You may set a file detector on the parent WebDriver instance to define custom behavior for handling file elements. Of particular note is the selenium-webdriver/remote.FileDetector, which should be used when running against a remote Selenium Server.
