File uploads

Function

cy.upload(fileName, fileType)

File uploads are not yet natively supported in Cypress. We have a custom command for uploading files that’s based off of this workaround. It must be chained from a command that retrieves an upload input element.

cy.findByText('Upload', { selector: 'button' }).upload(
  'src/platform/testing/example-upload.png',
  'image/jpg'
);

upload.js
