In order to test my application UI I need to be able to open file but XCUITests recording doesn't work after a NSOpenPanel is displayed.

Is there something I'm missing or any workaround?

In my case I want to open a video in my AVPlayer.

I realise this is very old now, but if anybody else lands here with the same question as I did without finding anything else suitable on Google .... This example is based on your app having a button labelled "+", navigating to a folder other than the default folder in the Open dialog, selecting a file you expect to exist & clicking Ok.

Code Block Swift
func testAddCertificateButton() {
				let app = XCUIApplication()
				let windowsQuery = app.windows
				let addButton = windowsQuery.buttons["+"]
				XCTAssert(addButton.exists)
				addButton.click()
				let openDialog = app.dialogs.firstMatch
				XCTAssert(openDialog.waitForExistence(timeout: 5))
				// Make sure we're on the right type of dialog by checking the "Where:" popover button exists
				// Also grab a reference to the Open button so we can click it later
				let openButton = openDialog.buttons["Open"]
				let whereButton = openDialog.popUpButtons["Where:"]
				XCTAssert(whereButton.exists)
				XCTAssert(openButton.exists)
				app.typeKey("g", modifierFlags: [.command, .shift])
				let sheet = openDialog.sheets.firstMatch
				XCTAssert(sheet.waitForExistence(timeout: 5))
				let goButton = openDialog.buttons["Go"]
				let input = sheet.comboBoxes.firstMatch
				XCTAssert(goButton.exists)
				XCTAssert(input.exists)
				input.typeText("/Full/Path/To/Location")
				goButton.click()
				let file = openDialog.images["FileYouExpect.txt"]
				XCTAssert(cert.waitForExistence(timeout: 5))
				file.click()
				openButton.click()
		}

That actually should say

Code Block SwiftXCTAssert(file.waitForExistence(timeout: 5))

That's what I get for modifying code in a web browser :)

Seems this broke in Monterey.
