Upload a file in browser using Robot Framework Test

I'm writing Test Cases using Robot Framework and Selenium for my Web application. I tried to Upload a file, but I can't its failing.

My Code is

*** Variables ***
${TVAURL}     http://localhost:1500/
${Browser}    Firefox

TC_01: Enter into the application
    [Documentation]   Enter into the application to upload a file
    Open Browser   ${TVAURL}     ${Browser}
    maximize browser window
    Choose File ........

HTML File:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Upload File</title>
</head>
<body>

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Select image to upload:
    <input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

I need to know how to use this Choose File for this file upload test. I don't know how to do this. I need to upload a file automatically without any third party tools like Autoit, etc.,

I referred the following http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/Selenium2Library.html#Choose%20File

Moreover I referred the following questions too

But I can't get any solutions. Kindly assist me how to do this using Robot Framework, Selenium in Pycharm Studio.

The syntax to use the Choose File keyword Choose File Locator File_name This keyword work fine for locator type=file so try to use locator =//input[@type="file"]

using autoit library in robotframework, you can upload a file into application. This solution works even the system is locked.

Input Filename and click send in Window dialog

run keyword if  '${Browser}' == 'Chrome'  File upload in Chrome browser
...   ELSE IF  '${Browser}' == 'Firefox'  File upload in Firefox browser

File upload in Chrome browser

control focus  [CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Open]  ${EMPTY}  [CLASSNN:Edit1]
control send  [CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Open]  ${EMPTY}  [CLASSNN:Edit1]  C:\\File_Upload\\Test_Upload
control click  [CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Open]  ${EMPTY}  &Open

File upload in Firefox browser

control focus  File Upload  ${EMPTY}  [CLASSNN:Edit1]
control send  File Upload  ${EMPTY}  [CLASSNN:Edit1]  C:\\File_Upload\\Test_Upload
control click  File Upload  ${EMPTY}  &Open

I am providing alternate solution for the question. Please try this if you didnt get.

Prerequisite for running below script :

Install Sikulix on your machine from this SikuliX ,this is easy to install and install robotframework-SikuliLibrary . You can explore the documentation if you want some more options SikuliX documentation. Capture the images like download path/filename using some snipping tool and update the name in the following script. 

*** Settings ***
Library          Selenium2Library
Library           SikuliLibrary

*** Test cases  ***
Login to Browser with download preferences
 [Documentation]   This one is without specifying download location
    Open Browser  https://www.docdroid.net/   Chrome
    Click Element   id=selectFiles
    Sleep   5
    SikuliLibrary.Click      /images/download.PNG
    SikuliLibrary.Click      /images/file.PNG
    SikuliLibrary.Click      /images/open.PNG

If you want to specify download location , go with below script

*** Settings ***

    Library          Selenium2Library
    Library           SikuliLibrary

    *** Test cases  ***
    Login to Browser with download preferences
     [Documentation]   You can specify your download location
        Open Browser  https://www.docdroid.net/   Chrome
        Click Element   id=selectFiles
        Sleep   5
        SikuliLibrary.Input Text           /images/file_path.PNG     C:\\Users\\Madhu\\Downloads
        Press Special Key        ENTER
        #SikuliLibrary.Click      /images/download.PNG
        SikuliLibrary.Click      /images/file.PNG
        SikuliLibrary.Click      /images/open.PNG

As per the documentation given in the Selenium2library, the syntax to use use the Choose File keyword is

Choose File  Locator  File_name

For a dialog or input that WebDriver can interact with the example would do something like this

Choose File id=fileToUpload  C://Downloads/Demo/Abc.txt

Here C://Downloads/Demo/Abc.txt is the location on the system where the file is kept. Change this to your own file location.

Also, I remember this solution also, which ultimately worked for me too - SO Post about uploading from a Windows directory. You can also try this one.
