I got stuck here, how to automate this Upload Functionality ?

I want to automate the below actions

1. Tap on Upload section ( this can be done using Integration driver or PatrolTest )
2. Select a file ( Native File Selection ) from Gallery / Drive (is there any option to native file selection in patrol Test ? )

Hi @VinodKumbar 👋 Thanks for using Patrol!

It would be helpful if you shared the screenshots of the upload functionality that you want to test. Then I'll be able to help you :)

Regarding your question: please take a look at the Inspecting native view hierarchy section in our documentation.

You might want to see #514 for an example test involving file picker.

Hi @bartekpacia I want to achieve the same test of uploading an image from gallery, can you help me out.

1. Currently I am tapping the Upload Image button to be redirected to the Gallery. I am using file_picker: ^5.2.5. I am using the code below to do so.

await $(t.upload_image).tap();

2. After that I am using this to open the pictures folder, as you suggested in Add example file picker screen and test #514

  await $.native.tap(Selector(text: 'Pictures'));

3. Finally I want to select one image from inside this folder. In Add example file picker screen and test #514 you were able to see the name of the file but in my case there is no name displayed so Patrol isn't able to find it.

Can you tell me how I can select one image from the screen below?
