Stop the selenium server until File uploaded

Question

I am using a file upload task with Selenium.

The problem here is, to upload file, it is taking 5-10 seconds time. But i have to stop the Selenium server until it uploaded completely.

Here is some example code.

selenium.type("id=Fileuploader","c:\\mypic.jpg");
selenium.click("id=submmit");

It is giving error because the selenium.click statement is executing right after the selenium.type statement without waiting for the file to upload fully.

So, what should I use here to stop the Selenium server (server has to wait for sometime)?

Answer 1

If worst, you can always use some Thread.sleep() in the code. But the best way is to see the advanced usage - explicit and implicit waiting

Answer 2

After uploading the file, new element is coming which showing the preview of the uploaded element.

So, i used

selenium.isVisible("xpath of new preview element") 

Put it in loop. It will work.

Thank you.
