Selenium hidden file upload with JavaScipt

I've the following input form, where I would like to upload a .txt file with my test script:
<ol>
<li id="EA-Blk-Invite-Text1">
Create and save a text file in a specific format as explained <span class="preview mln" data-action="sampleCSV">here</span>
</li>
<li id="EA-Blk-Invite-Text2">
<p>Upload the text file as prepared above</p>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="fileuploadArea clearfix pull-left" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Upload">
<div class="ChooseFile" data-flu="name2" data-target="[preview-container-text-bulk]" data-file-template="uploadCard" data-error-target="[data-upload-error-text-bulk]" data-type="txt" data-context="bulkImport" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Fileup">
<button class="custom-style-fileIOBtn">Choose File</button>
<input type="file" class="fileCntr" name="fileinput2" style="display:none;">
</div>
<div class="customLogo phn" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Filetext">
<h5>No file selected</h5>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix previewCntr" preview-container-text-bulk="">
</div>
<div class="clearfix col-xs-12 errorMessage-Main" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Errmsg">
<div data-upload-error-text-bulk="" class="errorMessage"></div>
</div>
<div class="btnCntr pull-right">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default cancelUpload" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Can-Btn">Cancel</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary importFile" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Send-Btn">Send Invitations</button>
</div>
</form>
I used a JS Executor to make the input element interactable. I can upload the file - according to my console log - however, I cannot submit the form. I get a 'File is required' error.
//Upload file with user's email list
await koreLib.sleep(3000);
await driver.executeScript('document.getElementById("EA-Blk-Invite-Fileup").style = "inline"');
console.log(`\nElement is visible`)
await koreLib.sleep(3000);
await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.className('fileCntr')));
console.log(`\nElement is located`);
await driver.findElement(By.className('fileCntr')).sendKeys('C:\\Users\\...\\bulkInvite.txt');
console.log(`\nFile upload success`)
//Press submit button
await koreLib.sleep(6000);
await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.xpath("//button[#id='EA-Blk-Invite-Send-Btn']")));
await driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#id='EA-Blk-Invite-Send-Btn']")).click();
console.log(`\nSubmit button pressed`)
When I upload the file manually, the following section is created, however, not with my script.
<div class="fileuploadArea clearfix pull-left" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Upload">
<div class="ChooseFile" data-flu="name2" data-target="[preview-container-text-bulk]" data-file-template="uploadCard" data-error-target="[data-upload-error-text-bulk]" data-type="txt" data-context="bulkImport" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Fileup">
<button class="custom-style-fileIOBtn">Choose File</button>
<input type="file" class="fileCntr" name="fileinput2" style="display:none;">
</div>
<div class="customLogo phn hidden" id="EA-Blk-Invite-Filetext">
<h5>No file selected</h5>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix previewCntr" preview-container-text-bulk=""><div>
<div class="col-xs-7 fileName">bulkInvite.txt</div>
<div class="col-xs-3 progressBar">
What am I doing wrong? Which element should be used for the upload if not
<input type="file" class="fileCntr" name="fileinput2" style="display:none;">
Thanks!

Dropzone isn't working on Modal Showing through ajax

Dropzone and Javascript isn't working on bootstrap Modal i'm calling Modal through ajax.Because i have hundreds of records i don't want to place Modal in foreach so i used ajax on button click controller method hits and return a new view and that view i'm calling and main view where modal will be displayed. Modal is working fine but i have used dropzone plugin which isn't working and even no other js code is working neither css.
MainView.blade.php
On button Click the following script hits
this the my main view where i am calling Bootstrap Modal

Code is working fine modal is calling but problem is only when modal from edit-product-Bootstrap-modal.blade.php is called through the script used in mainView.blade.php for Bootstrap Modal is not working

Check if you have disabled autoDiscvoer for dropzone.js on Dropzone.autoDiscover
if its false set its value as true (Dropzone.autoDiscover = true;).
If thats also not working try manually initializing the dropzone by attaching it to the model.
myDropDown = new Dropzone('#product_details', {<options>})

I had a similar problem with modals, where my datepicker.js input field wouldn't work when I click it, but id didn't show any errors. I did some digging, and apparently, modals don't properly load scripts defined in your view (or wherever). I managed to do this, by initializing the same script again, but with another name, in my app.js, something like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.datepickerCustom').datepicker({
//datepicker logic
}).on('changeDate', function (e) {
$(this).parent().find('.datePickerInput').val(e);
});
});
After compiling my views again (webpack), date picker was working fine. There's also another solution. Seems like sometimes js scripts "hide" behind the modal, so you need to set their z-index the modal's z-index which is 1050. This could be done inside your modal view:
<style>
.datepicker {
z-index: 1600 !important; /* has to be larger than 1050 */
}
</style>
If this still doesn't work, there's actually one more solution, where you need to initiate the date picker on the Modal shown event, something like this:
$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
if (!data) return e.preventDefault() // stops modal from being shown
})
Hope that any of those solutions can solve your problem. Good luck.

Why by submitting a form with a link does not change the input text values?

I have a form with some hidden input fields. Additional I have a link, which has a reset function, by clicking on it, it sets the hidden fields a "0" as value and submits the form.
It works fine, except by output the POST array, I still see the old values. How can I change that ?
Here is the HTML form:
<form method="POST" action="http://localhost" accept-charset="UTF-8" id="filter_form">
<input name="_token" type="hidden" value="mWIbgqI6sXZTyZpaW3Z3x1QqxZpwnl0BdmJtDmRY">
<input type="hidden" id="select_finance" name="select_finance" value="0">
<input type="hidden" id="filter_finance" name="filter_finance" value="60">
<div class="row " style="margin-top: 5px; display: none;" id="finance_filters">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="owl-carousel col-md-12">
<div class="item">
<div class="top_sub_link">
COPPER
</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="top_sub_link">
WHEAT
</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="top_sub_link">
SILVER
</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="top_sub_link">
GOLD
</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="top_sub_link activemediasublink">
GAS <i class="close_filter"></i>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="owl-nav"></div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here is the Javascript code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".close_filter").on('click', function() {
$('#filter_finance').val('0');
$('#select_finance').val('0');
$("#filter_form").submit();
});
});

The element on which you're attaching the onClick event is not the whole link but a tag inside the link. Thus, the clickable area is too small -maybe not even visible.
In your JavaScript, replace this:
$(".close_filter").on('click', function() {
With this:
$(".close_ink").on('click', function() {

Remove validation and auto-select default thumbnail image

I am using a PHP script which has a module of Article Posting
User needs to select a thumbnail else it gives an error. I want to remove mandatory validation, and when user has not selected any Thumnail, then it should select a default image somewhere from directory.
PHP Page:

get id of form being submitted

I posted a question earlier wrt dynamically created forms, and got excellent advice. At the moment I have a list of forms, formCELL, each created as follows.
html
<div class="container">
<div class="container-element" id="1">
<h3>HEADER</h3>
<form action="refresh.php" id="formCELL" method="post" name="form_1">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="col-xs-10 com">
CONTENT GOES HERE
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2 btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="refresh" type="submit">Refresh</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="container-element" id="2">
<h3>HEADER</h3>
<form action="refresh.php" id="formCELL" method="post" name="form_2">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="col-xs-10 com">

</div>
<div class="col-xs-2 btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="refresh" type="submit">Refresh</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="container-element" id="3">
<h3>HEADER</h3>
<form action="refresh.php" id="formCELL" method="post" name="form_3">
<div class="panel-body">

<div class="col-xs-2 btn">

</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="container-element" id="4">

<div class="col-xs-2 btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="refresh" type="submit">Refresh</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#formMAIN').submit(function(event) {
//formCELL is generated here through AJAX call.....
});
});
$('#formCELL').submit(function(event) {
// process the form
alert("about to submit");
//AJAX call to go here
var user_id = $(this).closest("form").attr('id');
alert(user_id);
event.preventDefault();
});
I am trying to get the id of the form being submitted so I can process it further, and I've tried diferent variations of $(this).closest("form").attr('id'); and all return a value of undefined
How can I get the id of the form being submitted?

You can use event.target.id to get form id

Just bind the "submit" event to whole form and then use
$(this).attr('id');

Maybe use data-id bro .
Put data-id as attribute in form
So you can easily get it using
$(this).attr('data-id')
