Bad zip file exception on try sendKeys a file with local file detector

[daluu]

Performing a sendKeys operation with local file detector enabled like:

((RemoteWebDriver) autoitDriver).setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector()); autoitDriver.findElement(By.className("Edit1")).sendKeys("C:\Users\dluu\Pictures\birdoparac.jpg");

throws exception:

Server logs don't indicate much. Didn't have proxy server setup to monitor request & response. To look into more later.

Comparatively, same sendKeys through Python (which has local file detector enabled by default, no turn off without modifying Python bindings source code) does not run into this problem. The zip is created and sent over then extracted successfully, with latest Python bindings. Only a problem here in Java, tested with JAR 2.41 and 2.33.

Workaround is to disable local file detector and send path as is in Java for now, assuming remote node has the path to file.

Would be nice to check if the other language bindings run into issue with file uploads when send keys. Including unofficial bindings. .NET, Ruby, Javascript, PHP, Perl
