I have done a very simple recording to invoke file upload dialog.
I'm testing it with major browser including IE, FF and Chrome.
However, the same test suppose to work with all browsers but it doesn't.
Chrome fail to start to navigating to the URL specified.
It just stuck at a point of preparing browser for automation.
I even tried to add delay but no luck.

Below is the log for the test:

I had the same issue.  Chrome doesn't allow you to browse to local files, even in this case if you set the Telerik extension to have permission to do so.

You can open the file using "ctrl + o" and select the file, which probably doesn't help in your situation.

Hello Andrew,

Daniel is certainly correct in his statement, Google Chrome disables features such as navigating to a local file like 'C:\TESTING.html', no matter the level of permission.

A possible workaround is to use a local IIS server for testing with test pages like this. By putting your test page on a local IIS server you would navigate to something more like, 'http://localhost/TestPages/testing.html', which Chrome does not disable.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

It was happening the same. In Chrome there is no way to navigate to a local file like 'C:\MyTest.html'. It worked like this:

Keyboard (KeyPress) - Ctrl+O (1 times) on 'BodyTag'

Handle 'FileUpload' dialog

   FileUploadPath: C:\MyTest.html

   HandleTimeout: 25000 (value by default)

   HandleButton: OPEN

   InitializationTime: 250 (value by default)

Thank you Daniel
