Webdriverio V9 : - Unable to upload file in headless mode

Question

Recently I have updated from v8 to v9, and file upload was working fine in non-headless mode. But the same code fails in headless mode. It would be good, if anyone help on this.

    capabilities: [
        {
            maxInstances: 1,
            browserName: 'chrome',
            acceptInsecureCerts: true,
            'goog:chromeOptions': {
                args: [
                    'headless', 'disable-gpu',
                    '--window-size=1920,1080'
                ],
            },
        },

Code:

    async uploadFile(file) {
        const filePath = path.join(process.cwd(), DEFAULT_FILEPATH, file);
        console.debug("File path: ", filePath);
        const remoteFilePath = await browser.uploadFile(filePath);
        await fileuploadPage.inputFileUpload.setValue(remoteFilePath);
        await fileuploadPage.submitButton.click();
    }

log:

I am able to upload file without using uploadfile()

    async uploadFile(file){
        const filePath = path.join(process.cwd(), DEFAULT_FILEPATH, file);
        console.debug(`File path: ${filePath}`);
        await fileuploadPage.inputFileUpload.addValue(filePath);
        await fileuploadPage.submitButton.click();
    }

also same question is there on github
