Not able to select the item in t drop down list.

[Sunitha S]

Hi,

I was trying to select the item in drop down list.Drop down button is clicked but item is not selected .I have used this code.

@FindBy(xpath="//select[@id='requestreason']")

    private WebElement reuestReasonListbox;

   

    public void selectRequestReason()

    {

    reuestReasonListbox.click();

    Select sel = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason")));

        sel.selectByVisibleText("STARS");

    //sel.selectByIndex(3);

    }

   

Can any one suggest me the solution.

It will be great if you can attach the screenshot
of the drop down HTML.

Hi Monika,

I have attached drop down HTML.Can you please check once.

[Akshat Gupta]

Try this,

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("<Enter id of the object>"))).selectByVisibleText("<Enter Option Text>");

Let me know if you face any problem.

[Monika Singhal]

I have tried with your HTML. You don't have to write this line:

reuestReasonListbox.click();

Please modify your code to:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/geckodriver");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("link of your website");

Select select= new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason")));

select.selectByVisibleText("Medicare Risk Review");

Hi Akshat,

I have tried but it's not working. Type mismatch  can't convert from void to select 

Select sel = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason"))).selectByVisibleText("HEDIS");

Hi Monika,

Thank you so much for your reply. I have tried but item is not selected.

Select sel = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason")));

sel.selectByVisibleText("HEDIS");

[Akshat Gupta]

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason"))).selectByVisibleText("HEDIS");

Just use this.

void error will not be there.

Thank you Akshat .I have tried with this " new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason"))).selectByVisibleText("HEDIS"); "

No Error but item is not selected.I'm not getting what's the problem is 

[Akshat Gupta]

You want to click it or just want to select the expected option ?

[PGF Bangalore English]

I was trying to select the option.I have attached the snapshot of output.Program executed successfully but item is not selected.

[Monika Singhal]

TRY THIS:

WebElement select_element= driver.findElement(By.id("requestreason"));

select_element.findElement(By.xpath("./option[text()='Stars']")).click();

YOU CAN REPLACE IT BY ANY TEXT YOU WANT TO SELECT.

Monika, I have tried what  you have suggested but item is not selected.I have tried several times with different options

[Akshat Gupta]

Use value field instead of Text, it might help. You have to give value=2 for HEDIS

There is another option, you can go for index for selection.

As per your screenshot attached, your test cases are passing perfectly. Debug it once and inspect the line where you are finding element.

Hi,

if it doesn't work give the url of the website, i will see.

Hi,

Select class is used for  Drop down. 

[Sunitha Gummadi]

Hi,

I'm able to print the Dropdown items but i was not able to select the item .I have tried 3 methods like  "selectByVisibleText", "selectByValue"  and "selectByIndex" but no use.

[Akshat Gupta]

Hi,

Try Selenium IDE recorder to execute this. After that export the test script and compare with your code.
