Recommended action: Pass an absolute, normalized path (os.path.abspath / Path.resolve()); with RemoteWebDriver enable the client's file detector (e.g. LocalFileDetector) so the file is uploaded to the node.
Option: Pass an absolute, normalized path (os.path.abspath / Path.resolve()); with RemoteWebDriver enable the client's file detector (e.g. LocalFileDetector) so the file is uploaded to the node. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: element.send_keys(path) on <input type=file> via ChromeDriver, especially with relative paths or remote Grid/containers
Steps:
1. Resolve the path: str(Path(p).resolve()).
2. For Selenium Grid/remote, set a LocalFileDetector (Java/JS) — Python's Remote uses file upload automatically for local files.
3. Retry send_keys.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
