Docker Selenium standalone server is Unable to upload a file to the grid browser in the container

I have a selenium script that to upload an attachment runs on maven and java and is working fine when run from Local.

When I run it on docker container using selenium standalone server receiving the following exception

org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException: invalid argument: File not found :

Not sure how to resolve it inside the container, I have verified the file is available

The docker compose file Iam using is as follows:

    version : '3'
services :
  maven:
    container_name : Maven-Java
    image : maven:3.5.3-jdk-8-alpine
    volumes :
      - .:/workspace
      - ~/.m2:/root/.m2
    depends_on :
      - selenium
    command : mvn -f /workspace test
  selenium:
    container_name : selenium
    image : selenium/standalone-chrome:latest
    volumes:
      - /dev/shm:/dev/shm
    ports :
      - 4444:4444

Mounting the volume on the browser and then using File.separator worked

You need to add a path configuration. Create a file browsers.json add this script there

{
  "chrome": {
        "default": "85.0",
        "versions": {
            "85.0": {
                "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
                "port": "4444",
                "volumes": ["/home/ubuntu/your-project:/opt/docker"]
            }
        }
    }
}

and run with this --browsers-json browsers.json argument

this example is for selenoid, but if you don't use selenoid, just add "volumes": ["/home/ubuntu/your-project:/opt/docker"] to your selenium grid config.

thank you all for the answer's so the working solution I found are two one is as @Alexey mentioned I should also volume map my script folder to the selenium container as well as below:

selenium:
   volumes :
     - .:/workspace

Above is a docker oriented solution, the other one I found is with selenium grid where the grid can detect the files using a file detector, it can be done by adding the following snipet.

remoteDriver.setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector());

Both the solutions are working and have solved my problem.

You mounted the volume to container where your test code is running. However you need to mount the volume to the container where the browser is running.

The thing is that when your code says to the web app "hey, this is the file that you need to upload", the test code sends not a file itself but a path that is passed to the browser. Then browser tries to look up that file and build appropriate request to the server.

So the file hast to be within the container where the browser is running.
