| 2 | + |
| 3 | +If you want to upload a file to the LambdaTest and use it in your Pytest automation test, you can follow the below steps. You can refer to sample test repo [here](https://github.com/LambdaTest/pytest-selenium-sample). |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +# Steps: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Step 1: Upload the file to LamdbaTest using API |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Use the LambdaTest file upload API to upload the file to the backend -https://api.lambdatest.com/automation/api/v1/user-files |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### Step 2: Pass file in capabilities |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +In the `conftest.py` file, you need to update the test capabilities and add the filename for the `lambda:userFiles` capability. For example, if two files with filenames `photo1.png` and `photo2.png`, it has to be passed like so in the capability: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | +capabilities = { |
| 18 | + "build": "Sample PY Build", |
| 19 | + "platformName": "Windows 11", |
| 20 | + "browserName": "Chrome", |
| 21 | + "browserVersion": "latest", |
| 22 | + "lambda:userFiles": ["photo1.png","photo2.png"] |
| 23 | +} |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### Step 3: Use the file in your test |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The files can be used in your test like so: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +* For Windows: |
| 31 | +```python |
| 32 | +elm = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']") |
| 33 | +elm.send_keys("C:\\Users\\ltuser\\Downloads\\photo1.png") |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | +* For MacOS: |
| 36 | +```python |
| 37 | +elm = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']") |
| 38 | +elm.send_keys("/Users/ltuser/Downloads/photo1.png") |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | +### Step 4: Run your test |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```bash |
| 43 | +cd tests //navigate to tests directory |
| 44 | +python sample_todo.py |
| 45 | +``` |
