Have you set browser: phantomjs in WebDriver configuration?

browser: phantomjs fixes file uploads when PhantomJS is running on the same machine, you may need to remove it to make file uploads work with remote PhantomJS.

i have codeception version 2.2.4

i have commented $el->setFileDetector(new \LocalFileDetector);
but was facing error with

 [Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\WebDriverException] JSON decoding of remote response failed.
Error code: 4

You need LocalFileDetector to upload file to remote PhantonJS.
UselessFileDetector only works with local PhantomJS.

Please let us know if you managed to solve this issue.

Actually @Naktibalda i want to mention one more point here...

we were able to do file upload with phanomjs which is running locally,
we aren't able to do file upload with Remote phantomjs... which is running in the different instance..

It is an issue of PhantonJS: ariya/phantomjs#13302 (comment)

If your PhantomJS actually runs on a different machine, regardless of which remote driver you use you need to make sure that the files are actually available on the remote server on the path that you are sending.
