Selenium WebDriver and DropDown Boxes

2019-01-06 10:33发布

问题:

If I want to select an option of a dropdown box, there are several ways to do that. I always used:

driver.findElement(By.id("selection")).sendKeys("Germany");

But that didn't work every time. Sometimes another option was selected. So I googled a little bit and found this piece of code which works every time:

WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.id("selection"));
    List<WebElement> options = select.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
    for (WebElement option : options) {
        if("Germany".equals(option.getText()))
            option.click();
    }

But that works really really slow. If I have a long list with many items in it, it really takes too much time. So my question is, is there a solution which works every time and is fast?

回答1:

You could try this:

IWebElement dropDownListBox = driver.findElement(By.Id("selection"));
SelectElement clickThis = new SelectElement(dropDownListBox);
clickThis.SelectByText("Germany");

Try the following:

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

Select droplist = new Select(driver.findElement(By.Id("selection")));   
droplist.selectByVisibleText("Germany");


回答3:

Try the Select helper class and see if that makes any difference?

String valueToSelect= "Germany";
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.id("selection"));
Select dropDown = new Select(select);           
String selected = dropDown.getFirstSelectedOption().getText();
if(selected.equals(valueToSelect)) {//do stuff already selected}
List<WebElement> Options = dropDown.getOptions();
for(WebElement option:Options){
  if(option.getText().equals(valueToSelect)){
       option.click();  
  }
}

For some strange reason the SelectElement for webdriver (version 2.25.1.0) does not properly work with the firefoxdriver (Firefox 15). Sometimes it may not select an option from a dropdownlist. It does, however, seem to work with the chromedriver... This is a link to the chromedriver... just drop it in the bin dir.



回答5:

Example for select an option from the drop down list:

Click on drop down list by using id or csspath or xpath or name. I have used id here.

driver.findElement(By.id("dropdownlistone")).click(); // To click on drop down list
driver.findElement(By.linkText("india")).click(); // To select a data from the drop down list.

I have to struggle to find how to achieve especial those who are new to this tool (like me)

C# code:

IWebElement ddl = ffDriver.FindElement(By.Id("ddlGoTo")); 
OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.SelectElement clickthis = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.SelectElement(ddl);
clickthis.SelectByText("Your Text");

hope this help others!

public static void mulptiTransfer(WebDriver driver, By dropdownID, String text, By to)
{   
    String valuetext = null;
    WebElement element = locateElement(driver, dropdownID, 10);
    Select select = new Select(element);
    List<WebElement> options = element.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
    for (WebElement value: options) 
    {
        valuetext = value.getText();
        if (valuetext.equalsIgnoreCase(text))
        {
            try
            {
                select.selectByVisibleText(valuetext);
                locateElement(driver, to, 5).click();

select = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("select[uniq id']"));
                selectElement = new SelectElement(select);
                var optionList =
                    driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("select[uniq id']>option"));
                selectElement.SelectByText(optionList[GenerateRandomNumber(1, optionList.Count())].Text);

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 :)

You can use this

(new SelectElement(driver.FindElement(By.Id(""))).SelectByText("");
