Hi everyone, I need your help if is possible, on a tecnical doubt I have on my automation, I wrote the code below and the browser opened the window to choose the file I wants to upload:

find(:xpath, ‘//span[@id=“page:idFormUpload:j\_id138:0:reRenderUploadRow”]’).click  
But when I use the code below the automation get a error, the path of the file is “C:\Users\jsporn\Pictures\imagemTeste\_robo.png”, I don´t know if the sintax of this command are right or not, can anyone help me?

attach\_file Rails.root.join(“file”,‘C:\Users\jsporn\Pictures\imagemTeste\_robo.png’)  
Or this code below:

attach\_file(“attachments”, ‘C:/hughes/imagem\_robo\_CPF/imagemTeste\_robo.png’)

Thanks
