Uploading a CSV

Following the documentation on how to use Blobs with Cypress we have arrived at the following piece of code:

.fixture('upload_teachers.csv').as('teachers')
.get('input[type="file"]').then(function($input) {
  Cypress.Blob.binaryStringToBlob(this.teachers).then(function(blob){
    $input.fileupload('add', { files: blob });
  });
})

However we keep running into the same error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: $input.fileupload is not a function

Running CLI v0.12.0 and App v0.18.5.

Would appreciate any help!

Currently, the documentation expects that you use the jQuery File Upload plugin. The fileupload function comes from this plugin.

Sorry this was not made very clear in the documentation. We do plan to handle file uploads in a better way in the future, but this is the best workaround to test them for now.
