Cannot upload image in selenium using python

Question

I'm trying to upload photo using webdriver.Firefox in python:

upload_img_first = '/home/emin/Desktop/test/me.jpg'

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[contains(@class, "button-class")]').send_keys(os.getcwd()+upload_img_first)

Red bar appears in browser bottom with image address, /home/emin/Desktop/test/me.jpg

What is wrong?

What does the html on the page look like? It seems strange that you want to type characters in a button element. Can you supply the page source , at least for the target element. — Isaac

Assuming send_keys is being sent to the proper element, it loos like the upload_image_first variable is an absolute path. When you send_keys, you are concatenating the current path to that absolute path.

So, if you run this program from /home/emin, you would send_keys to /home/emin/home/emin/Desktop/test/me.jpg
