class FileDetector

webdriver.FileDetector
  └ FileDetector

A webdriver.FileDetector that may be used when running against a remote Selenium server.

When a file path on the local machine running this script is entered with WebElement#sendKeys, this file detector will transfer the specified file to the Selenium server's host; the sendKeys command will be updated to use the transfered file's path.

Note: This class depends on a non-standard command supported on the Java Selenium server. The file detector will fail if used with a server that only supports standard WebDriver commands (such as the ChromeDriver).
