selectFiles Seems Broken in Chrome Canary

[James Herdman]

Given:

  await selectFiles(
    '.some-selector',
    [
      new Blob(['test-test'], {
        name: 'foo.jpg',
        type: 'image/jpeg'
      }),
    ]
  );

I see the following error message in Chrome Canary (v62):

@webark May I bring your attention to this?
@jherdman does this work for you on non-canary versions of chrome?

[Mark Avery]

ya. I was trying to keep things as close to the traditional api as possible, but it looks like now chrome 62 doesn't work, and give a similar error as firefox did, but using a different message. Perhaps we need to abandon the hope that we could maintain the FileList object, and just reset it to an array.

[Miguel Camba]

In my experience error messages change very little. If we add another Regexp for chrome we might be good for the next 2 years.

[James Herdman]

No, this also appears to be broken in Chrome v60 too. The file list is empty (i.e. event.target.files).

[Mark Avery]

ya. My only concern is that if both chrome and firefox do not support the mutating of the FileList is it worth even trying to do that?

[Mark Avery]

@cibernox i think just replacing the FileList with an array is simpler and being that at least firefox and chrome no longer "support" the other way munching it, we should just keep with that. Take a look at #95 and let me know what you think.
