How to select an item from a dropdown list using Selenium WebDriver with java?
Use -
new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("gender"))).selectByVisibleText("Germany");Of course, you need to import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
Just wrap your WebElement into Select Object as shown below
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("identifier")));Once this is done you can select the required value in 3 ways. Consider an HTML file like this
<html><body><select id = "designation"><option value = "MD">MD</option><option value = "prog"> Programmer </option><option value = "CEO"> CEO </option></option></select><body></html>Now to identify dropdown do
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("designation")));To select its option say 'Programmer' you can do
dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Programmer ");or
dropdown.selectByIndex(1);or
dropdown.selectByValue("prog");Happy Coding :)
Tagname you should mentioned like that "option", if text with space we can use this method it should work.
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.id("gender"));List<WebElement> options = select.findElements(By.tagName("option"));for (WebElement option : options) {if("Germany".equals(option.getText().trim())) option.click(); }
