Was recently making a bot to automatically post an "ad" to a site when launched , however i do need pictures and i researched ways to upload pictures all i could find was :Imagepath=os.path.abspath('.folder1subfolder2file1.jpg') driver.find_element_by_id("ImageUploadButton").clear() driver.find_element_by_id("ImageUploadButton").send_keys(Imagepath) and me being new to python or coding in general I have no idea what ".folder1subfolder2file1.jpg" accesses

Make sure you have your actual pathname put in there instead of writing 'folder1subfolder2file1.jpg' - that looks like it's just placeholder stuff that the person who wrote the sample code you got put in there to stand in for your actual path.



So if the image you want to upload is in VolumesusernamebobDesktop and it's called cats.jpg, you need to put '.VolumesusernamebobDesktopcats.jpg' in where '.folder1subfolder2file.jpg' is right now.
