Vaadin Upload File Path from Testing using Selenium

Question

Any reason why this wont set the file path for the Vaadin Upload Component in selenium.

The file path remains unset and when the click happens it trys to upload null. The file does exist in my local directory.

$(UploadElement.class).first().findElement(By.className("gwt-FileUpload")).sendKeys("/tmp/test.xlsx");
$(UploadElement.class).first().findElement(By.className("v-button")).click();

Answer 1

This got it working

getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']")).sendKeys("/tmp/test.xlsx"); 
$(UploadElement.class).first().findElement(By.className("v-button")).click();
