def browsefiles(self):
    fname = QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open file',r'C:\Users\Projects')
    self.filename.setText(fname[0])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Running the above code opens a UI page that I have created using QT designer. But when I am clicking on Upload Single File file button. I am getting below error:

AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'browsefiles'

I also tried the below code :

self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.browsefiles)

and

self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.browsefiles())

but nothing with the above 2 lines I get below error:

AttributeError: 'Ui_MainWindow' object has no attribute 'browsefiles'

Can anyone help me to reolve the issue.

@Adityamity said in AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'browsefiles':

def browsefiles(self):

You have this against the left margin. It is not inside the class. Indent it all by 4 spaces. This is one reason not to like Python ;-)

BTW, well done for putting your code inside forum Code tags, in your first post! Most do not. Which would have made this very hard to spot!
