How to find element using type in Selenium and Python

find_element_by_partial_link_text looks for the element text. In addition, it works only on <a> tags. For example, driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('file') will math the following html

<a type="file" name="filePath">file</a>

But not your html as the element has no text.

You could locate the element by the name attribute instead

driver.find_element_by_name('filePath')

Checkout the docs on finding elements. I find xpaths or css selectors particularly powerful because they are extremely generalizable.

xpath

upload_field = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='file']")

css selector

upload_field = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[name='filePath'][type='file']")

Its not the proper way to use the partial text in selenium . Please go through the link to understand how to use partial link https://www.softwaretestingmaterial.com/how-to-locate-element-by-link-text-and-partial-link-text-locator/

Answer to your question. Use the other attribute like name to identify the locator.

Otherwise try this locator "//input[@name='filePath']"
