Watir: Can I open the file explorer from file_fields?

Question

So I know I can add a filepath to a file element type using Watir, but is it possible to open up the file explorer to select a file to upload? Or is the only way to just enter the path using .file_fields?

Answer 2

What is the problem? What do you want to do?

This will open file upload popup and select a file:

browser.file_field(:id, "the_file").set("C:\\image.png")
