# Attach A File With Capybara
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to attach a file with
|
||||
[Capybara](https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara). The more conventional way
|
||||
is with the
|
||||
[`attach_file`](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/Capybara%2FNode%2FActions%3Aattach_file)
|
||||
method.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming there is a form with a file input similar to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<label for='data-file'>Data File</label>
|
||||
<input type='file' name='data-file' />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
attach_file('data-file', 'path/to/file.csv')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The first argument to `attach_file` is a locator which refers to the `name`
|
||||
attribute on the `input` tag.
|
||||
|
||||
If for some reason there is no `name` attribute on the `input` tag, the file
|
||||
can be attached with a standard `find` and `set`.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
find('form input[type="file"]').set('path/to/file.csv')
|
||||
```
