Answer 1

I solved my problem. it works very well. Below is my solution if it helps someone: the code below:

// Find path url of files to upload
final String pathDir = new java.io.File("").getAbsolutePath();
final String pathFile = pathDir + "\\src\\main\\webapp\\myFile.txt";
// End find path url of files to upload
driver.findElement(By.id("upload1")).sendKeys(pathFile);

• gihanchanuka: driver.findElement(By.id("upload1")).sendKeys(filePath); works!. But I used String filePath = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/resources/test.pdf"; to get absolute file path of the file

As far i understand your question, the sendkeys you're sending only the file name. So try sending the absolute path of the file.

driver.findElement(By.id("upload1")).sendKeys("d:\\folder\\myFile.txt");

Edited according to your comment:

You need to use relative path of the file to reference it,

driver.findElement(By.id("upload1")).sendKeys("./webApp/myFile.txt");
