At Intelligrape we face many challenges while developing web-applications. One of the small challenge was to test the web pages that contains file input field <input type=”File”>(to upload files). After few hours drilling with Canoo webtest plugin I decided to use the new fabulous plugin, Grails functional Testing by Marc Palmer (http://www.grails.org/Grails+Functional+Testing).
The syntax for setting value for the file input field is
NameOfFileInputField.setValueAttribute("PathOfFileAsString")
Let me explain you with an example:
Following component’s HTML is
<input name="FileInputField" type="file" />
The name of the file input field is FileInputField.The code for setting value/path will be
FileInputField.setValueAttribute("testFile.txt")
any kind of suggestions and comments are welcome……
Cheers,
Chandan Luthra

I was trying the method explained by Marc Parmer here http://www.anyware.co.uk/2005/2009/01/08/functional-testing-in-grails-just-got-a-bit-sexier/ but it didn’t work out for me.
But the method expained by you really works
Thanks Chandan
