# class: FileChooser
* since: v1.8

[FileChooser] objects are dispatched by the page in the [`event: Page.fileChooser`] event.

```js
// Note that Promise.all prevents a race condition
// between clicking and waiting for the file chooser.
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  // It is important to call waitForEvent before click to set up waiting.
  page.waitForEvent('filechooser'),
  // Opens the file chooser.
  page.getByText('Upload').click(),
]);
await fileChooser.setFiles('myfile.pdf');
```

```java
FileChooser fileChooser = page.waitForFileChooser(() -> page.getByText("Upload").click());
fileChooser.setFiles(Paths.get("myfile.pdf"));
```

```python async
async with page.expect_file_chooser() as fc_info:
    await page.get_by_text("Upload").click()
file_chooser = await fc_info.value
await file_chooser.set_files("myfile.pdf")
```

```python sync
with page.expect_file_chooser() as fc_info:
    page.get_by_text("Upload").click()
file_chooser = fc_info.value
file_chooser.set_files("myfile.pdf")
```

```csharp
var fileChooser = await page.RunAndWaitForFileChooserAsync(async () =>
{
    await page.GetByText("Upload").ClickAsync();
});
await fileChooser.SetFilesAsync("temp.txt");
```
