How to upload file using python selenium-webdriver when there is no input type but instead it has a button type in HTML?

How to upload file using python selenium-webdriver when there is no input type but instead it has a button type in HTML?

I'm trying to upload a file to a webpage using Selenium but the HTML type is a button not an Input file.

Below is the HTML Code

enter image description here

Button looks like this

enter image description here

My code

browser.find_element_by_class_name("ng-scope").send_keys('C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test.png')

But after I run the code the file is not uploaded.

Please advise on where i'm going wrong?

Thanks in advance -M

There is a hidden input with type=file. To upload file using Selenium yo have to send keys to input[type=file]:

browser.find_element_by_css_selector(".file-upload-input input[type=file]").send_keys('C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test.png')

Use WebDriverWait to wait element to be present in the DOM:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# ...

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 5)

wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".file-upload-input input[type=file]"))).send_keys('C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test.png')
