Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

  1. DataTransfer fallback: Simulate a drop event with a DataTransfer object
  2. Clipboard fallback: Copy file content and simulate Ctrl+V paste
  3. Native drag simulation: Use CDP Input.dispatchDragEvent
RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Feature Request

The browser upload tool relies on DOM.setFileInputFiles CDP method, which only works with standard <input type="file"> elements.

ByteDance products (抖音, 番茄达人中心, etc.) use a custom ByteUploader component that bypasses the standard file input mechanism. When calling upload, it returns OK but files.length remains 0.

Proposed Solutions

  1. DataTransfer fallback: Simulate a drop event with a DataTransfer object
  2. Clipboard fallback: Copy file content and simulate Ctrl+V paste
  3. Native drag simulation: Use CDP Input.dispatchDragEvent

Impact

This blocks automation of video/image uploads on ByteDance platforms, which are critical for content operations.

Fix Plan

To resolve the issue with uploading files on ByteDance platforms, we will implement the DataTransfer fallback solution. This involves simulating a drop event with a DataTransfer object.

Steps to Implement the Fix

  • Create a new DataTransfer object: const dataTransfer = new DataTransfer();
  • Add the file to the DataTransfer object: dataTransfer.items.add(file);
  • Simulate a drop event on the ByteUploader component:
const dropEvent = new MouseEvent('drop', {
  bubbles: true,
  cancelable: true,
  dataTransfer: dataTransfer,
});
byteUploaderComponent.dispatchEvent(dropEvent);
  • Verify that the file has been uploaded successfully by checking the files.length property.

Example Code

// Assuming byteUploaderComponent is the custom ByteUploader component
const file = new File(['file content'], 'filename.txt', { type: 'text/plain' });
const dataTransfer = new DataTransfer();
dataTransfer.items.add(file);

const dropEvent = new MouseEvent('drop', {
  bubbles: true,
  cancelable: true,
  dataTransfer: dataTransfer,
});
byteUploaderComponent.dispatchEvent(dropEvent);

// Verify that the file has been uploaded
console.log(byteUploaderComponent.files.length); // Should be 1

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, check the files.length property after simulating the drop event. It should be greater than 0, indicating that the file has been uploaded successfully.

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to test the fix on different ByteDance platforms to ensure compatibility.
  • Consider adding error handling to handle cases where the file upload fails.
  • This fix assumes that the ByteUploader component supports drop events. If it doesn't, an alternative solution may be needed.
