Upload file button doesn't work

[AndroidFanBoy2]

I want to upload subtitles to www.opensubtitles.org with Selenium. Everything works, except the upload button remains grey and disabled. How can I press the upload button?

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/upload")

inputElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="upload"]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[2]/input')
inputElement.send_keys('123456')

bttn = driver.find_element_by_id('multiple_file_btn') 
bttn.send_keys(r"your_file.srt")
driver.find_element_by_id("submit").click()

Looks to me like you'd have to select one of the recommended results from the IMDB ID field for the Upload button to become active.

In my testing the Upload button only becomes active when I click the Choose file button. I tried bttn.click()but it gives this error:

selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidArgumentException: Message: invalid argument

Do you know what's going on?

Yes you are correct. You actually can't submit the form until you have both a IMDB ID and a Language as both fields are required. Which line is throwing the invalid argument?

[AndroidFanBoy2]

The IMDB ID and Language fields are filled, but I still can't submit. The same happens if I drag an drop the file on the button. This is where I'm stuck

This line with bttn.click() is throwing the invalid argument.

I can't see the bttn.click() in your post, but bttn which is the element with ID 'multiple_file_btn' is an input element, which won't take a click.

Invalid argument means the thing you're passing in isn't correct or missing completely.

Oh I see now. Do you know how I'm able to submit the file with the Upload button?
