In order to make file uploads working properly on remote browsers, you must use LocalFileDetector(). This will take care of transferring the file on the machine whre the actual browser is being run, which may not be your computer (it could be on remote CI server, in Docker etc.)
Consider the following <input> html element:
<form ...>
<!-- Upload input element -->
<input type="file" id="file_input"></input>
</form>Your upload code will look like this:
// getting the input element
$fileInput = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('file_input'));
// set the file detector on the file_input element
$fileInput->setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector());
// upload the file and immediatelly submit the form
$fileInput->sendKeys($filePath)
->submit();
// you can also just fill the file input and submit the form later
$fileInput->sendKeys($filePath);
// ... do some other stuff in the form, then submit the whole form:
$form->submit(); // if form is WebDriverElement representing <form>
