upload functionality removed?

[navaru]

In a previous version there was an upload function in lib/actions.js, as far as I understand after switching to Electron the functionality was removed, its because is not supported by Electron or was not implemented yet?

Is there an obvious way on how to upload files and I missed it?

not sure off the top of my head. two things to check:

• https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/api/browser-window.md
• browser events we can trigger programmatically. i would start here: https://github.com/component/file-picker

Any news on this issue?

[rosshinkley]

I don't think so. Electron does not directly allow a way to intercept requests for uploads like it does for downloads. I've seen it discussed in the Electron issues, most notably #749 and #3999, but as far as I know, it's still an open problem.

@rosshinkley True... Saw these issues too. 👍

I just tested this, and it actually works really well. I'll see if I can find the time and make a PR to add this.

If someone else beats me to it, I'm totally fine with that :)

Added as a plugin.

[rosshinkley]

As the plugin should solve this issue, I'm closing it. If you have questions/problems, feel free to reopen/open a new issue.

from the perspective of user, it'd be better that upload is native feature of nightmare
