    I'm using selectFile() method to upload photo. But there is an issue, element locator that contains type="file" has a class hide. How can I access this locator. I tried invoke('show') already. Please help
  • f
    Doesn't 
    selectFile
    have a 
    force: true
    option? What does the error message say?
  • i
    I'm using force : true aslo but still not working. Error I'm getting is : (uncaught expection) SecurityError : Block a frame with origin "http://localhost" from accessing a cross origin frame
  • f
    If you're running Chrome, try disabling web security https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/web-security#Disabling-Web-Security
  • f
    Otherwise you can catch the uncaught exception and stop the test from failing https://docs.cypress.io/api/events/catalog-of-events#Examples
  • i
    When I try to disable web security and caught uncaught exception it gives me no error but still not uploading the photo
  • i
    The issue i think is that the element locator I'm using it has a property of display none. When I try to use force: true it give me uncaught expectation error. When try to ignore this error then nothing happens

    If you're getting that input, then 
    selectFile
    shouldn't be an issue. I'm out of suggestions. It would be helpful for you to share the code where you're getting the element and calling 
    selectFile()
  • i
    cy.get('[class~="FileUploader"] input[type="type"]').selectFile('file1.jpg', {force: true})
  • f
    Should be 
    input[type="file"]
    , but it would be even better if you had a test id on there
  • i
    Sorry that was typing error.
  • i
    It is input[type="file"]
  • f
    In that case, you're doing everything right on the cypress side. I suggest you sit down with one of your app's developers to debug what's happening in the application
  • i
    Alright. Thanks for responding and helping me out, appreciate it
  • f
    You're welcome. Good luck in figuring it out 🙂

    Hey everyone, has anybody tried integrating v10 with Qase?
  • b
    Hello everyone, the client id in the cypress.config.json file auth_client_id: 'cypress-test' changes in the url which cypress opens. Does anybody know, how i can solve this?
  • f
    hey all. is there a way to alias an element that doesn't exist yet?
  • g
    why would you alias something that does not exist yet?
  • f
    so that i can have all my aliases in one place for ease of reference
  • f
    and since alias will requery for stale elements, i thought it would follow that you could perhaps somehow alias elements that don't exist yet, rather than just ones that do, but maybe won't in the future.
  • f
    in the case of some transient element with a complex selector, i'd rather not have the alias unexpectedly appear inside the usual test code, but i'd also rather not repeat the selector. i'd also rather not stick it in a closure or the selector in a variable as that would be inconsistent with everything else
  • f
    > transient element with a complex selector This sounds like a good use case for a test id
  • f
    perhaps the test id is complex because it's one of many in many dimensions 😛
  • f
    anyway, sounds like the answer to my question is "no" 😛
  • f
    I think so, yeah. 
    get()
    will fail if there isn't anything there, so it wouldn't be possible to have an element yielded to the 
    as
    Best alternative I can think of is to define your (needlessly? :P) complex test ids in variables, then pass them to 
    cy.get()
    when needed
  • f
    yeah, that seems to be the case
  • f
    another case is where i need some deeply nested element within the transient that i just don't have control over and can't give a 
    data-cy
    😛
  • f
    anyway, thanks liam
  • f
    Got to love those cases 🙂 Best of luck finding a solution, sorry the placeholder alias approach isn't doable
