Cypress selectFile() command doesn't support .pdf files
See original GitHub issueCurrent behavior
After doing the upgrade to v9.3.1 I migrated to selectFile()
using the migration guid.
After finishing the migration I found that selectFile() command is working with .png and .jpg but it’s not working with .pdf files. “knowing that the path is correct as I prefixed the path with cypress/fixtures/”
It doesn’t throw any errors, but the uploaded file is corrupted. it keeps loading forever when I click to preview it
FYI: I tried uploading the .pdf manually and it works but not with cypress automation
Desired behavior
Should be able to upload .pdf files
Test code to reproduce
cy.get("#myInput").selectFile(pdfPath);
Cypress Version
9.3.1

@cheukribbon @khashaba in case you guys still have issues I managed to make it work by doing this:
cy.fixture('myFile.pdf', null) .then(Cypress.Buffer.from) .then(contents => cy.get('.file-input') .should('be.enabled') .selectFile({ contents, fileName: fileName, lastModified: Date.now(), mimeType: 'application/pdf', }), )We have been experiencing similar issues trying to upload .txt and .csv files.
It would be really useful if Cypress were to document which filetypes are supported by selectFile().
The documentation is only explicit to .JSON, .png and .jpeg.
