When trying to upload a file through input using WebDriver, the process gets stuck once the sendKeys

WebElement uploadInput = browser.findElementByXPath("[correct_identifier]");
uploadInput.sendKeys(elementPath);

The script successfully initiates the file upload process, however, the custom JavaScript loading screen persists and fails to disappear as expected. Typically, when manually uploading a file, it takes approximately 5 seconds for the entire process to complete. Using webdriver, the loading screen continues to display indefinitely, triggering a timeout error regardless of the delay.

Additional details: On firefox, pressing keys has no effect on the upload. Conversely, only on chrome does the upload commence and finalize (with a visible completion indicator), yet the post-processing loading screen remains unresolved, preventing further actions on the page. The HTML element responsible for the upload appears like this:

       <span class="[classes]">             
         <a href="#" class="[classes]" style="float: right; display: none;"> Cancel</a>
         <input id="[id]" class="multi_file_upload single" type="file" name="filedata" multiple="" data-path="[path]">
       </span>

Unfortunately, I'm unable to leave a comment at this time. Maybe you could consider pressing the "Enter" key or performing a double click with the mouse on the button. In the past, I've encountered similar problems and found these workarounds to be effective.
