admhelp.microfocus.com/uft/en/14.03/UFT_Help/Subsystems/… The code looks okay. According to the official doc it is not supported in Chrome and PhantomJS. What browser do you use?

@BelaTamasJozsa actually I think it is supported on Chrome, just not when Chrome is in emulation mode, quote: This object is not supported on browsers running on a Mobile device connected to Mobile Center or Chrome emulator browsers, or PhantomJS

Right only Chrome Emulator Browsers. if we wanna be picky, theoretically UFT does not support version 70 yet - although practically there are no huge differences, so let's just ignore... still for the sake of completeness can you please try it in iexplore / firefox?

I just checked and it worked for me on Chrome70, from the error it looks like UFT couldn't recognise the file object. Try disabling automatic XPath identifiers (Tools->Options->GUI Testing->Web->Advanced-> Uncheck "Lean and run using automatic XPath identifiers"
