I’m sorry I can’t do it on my end, I will try to check on my end, it would be helpful if you could try using a beta or canary version of Chrome and see if it is fixed in those.
EDIT: I can’t reopen the issue, seems only googlers can do that.
Thanks for looking into this! I tested on several websites on Linux and Windows with the latest version of the IDE and Chrome 72.0.3626.96. Always the same result:
{"code":-32000,"message":"Not allowed"}The issue seems to happen on every file upload dialog on the web, for example
(These are not my websites).
Other tools like iMacros show the same issue - so the problem is with Chrome, not the Selenium IDE.
I found a workaround using the kantu xtype command, but this requires the computer/server to remain unlocked. So it is only a workaround, no solution.
Clarification: The workaround requires you to use the Kantu tool. It is another open-source selenium ide project, not this one here.
I just ran against version 72, mistakenly I used 71
