Unable to handle the file fox upload

[anandseshadri]

Hi,

    I am very new to the Auto it script , I am using it to upload file in firefox for my selenium test ,The code i use is as follow 

#include <IE.au3>
; Internet Explorer is partly integrated in shell.application
$oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application") ; Get the Windows Shell Object
$oShellWindows=$oShell.windows   ; Get the collection of open shell Windows
$MyIExplorer=""
for $Window in $oShellWindows    ; Count all existing shell windows
  ; Note: Internet Explorer appends a slash to the URL in it's window name
  if StringInStr($Window.LocationURL,"http://") then
      $MyIExplorer=$Window
      exitloop
  endif
next
$oForm = _IEGetObjByName ($MyIExplorer, "UploadedFile")
_IEAction($oForm, "click")

WinActivate("File Upload");
Local $file = "C:\AdminUnlock.xml"
ControlSetText("File Upload", "", "Edit1", $file )
ControlClick("File Upload", "", "Button1")

When execute the script everything works properly but when i convert it into a exe and execute it i get a error message

What do you get for an error when you don't compile it, and just run the script?

Are you telling me to run script directly instead of generating a exe

Why are you using the IE functions to interact with a Firefox window? I don't have a lot of experience with the IE functions, so I'm not sure what it is you're trying to do, but I do know that the IE functions won't work with an FF window.

This is the only part of the code that is creating the problem , i can remove the rest of the code since all i want is a working code for firefox

Well, the initial post contains an error message that's probably being generated by the IE functions. Have you looked at the FF.au3 UDF for interacting with FireFox windows?
