You can't upload files in the cloud (doesn't matter if it's Sauce Labs or a different cloud vendor) like you are used to do on your local machine. The cloud VM doesn't have access to your local file system.

There are 2 possible solutions for Sauce Labs in combination with WebdriverIO.

  1. Chrome only: There is a Chrome only solution with browser.uploadFile(localPath)

  2. Pre-run executable: With Sauce Labs you can use a pre-run executable to upload a file to a VM and then use that file to upload in your application.

You can check them here https://github.com/saucelabs-sample-test-frameworks/WebdriverIO-download-upload

NOTE: You should wonder if testing uploading a file is really something you need to do through the frontend. UI tests tend to be flaky and testing file uploads make them even more flaky.
