FileChooser class

File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file.

Signature:

export declare class FileChooser 

Remarks

FileChooser objects are returned via the page.waitForFileChooser method.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the FileChooser class.

Example

An example of using FileChooser:

const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForFileChooser(),
  page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);

**NOTE** In browsers, only one file chooser can be opened at a time. All file choosers must be accepted or canceled. Not doing so will prevent subsequent file choosers from appearing.

Methods

Method	Modifiers	Description
accept(filePaths)		Accept the file chooser request with given paths.
