Automate Blueimp file upload - getting ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with

Question

i am trying to automate Blueimp file upload. but keep getting ElementNotVisible Exception.

WebElement fileUpload = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']"));
String imagePath = "image.png";
fileUpload.sendKeys(imagePath);

I tried to enable using:

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].checked = true;", fileUpload);`

but still no luck..

One option to solve it would be to make an element visible:

WebElement fileUpload = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.display = 'block'; arguments[0].style.visibility = 'visible';", fileUpload);

String imagePath = "image.png";
fileUpload.sendKeys(imagePath);
