FileChooser

FileChooser objects are dispatched by the page in the page.on('filechooser') event.

// Note that Promise.all prevents a race condition
// between clicking and waiting for the file chooser.
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  // It is important to call waitForEvent before click to set up waiting.
  page.waitForEvent('filechooser'),
  // Opens the file chooser.
  page.getByText('Upload').click(),
]);
await fileChooser.setFiles('myfile.pdf');
