Upload modal will not close after filepath is sent

I'm attempting to upload a file, which it does, however the upload screen just stays open so I cannot view on half the screen. Anyone know a workaround? The code I use:

        var path = require('path');
         //the file to upload
        var fileToUpload = 'some path i put in',
          //this is variable that inserts the path to find file to upload
          absolutePath = path.resolve(__dirname, fileToUpload);
         //inserts the path
        $('input[type="file"]').sendKeys(absolutePath);

I've tried adding: $('#uploadButton').click(); however it throws errors.
