Watirwebdriver - Click on drop down value is not visible until I scroll down the list

[watir webdriver]

Hi,

I'm using watir-webdriver to automate our functional testing with an application. In the process we need to click on a drop down and select a value from the drop down. The problem i'm facing is that i'm able to click on the elements that are visible in the drop-down however, when i tried clicking on an item which is just below the visible item, its just passing the scenario without selecting the item.

HTML code:

<select class="exp_left_hand">
<option value="">Please select</option>
<optgroup label="Users">
<option data-s="false" value="countrycode">countrycode</option>
<option data-s="true" value="u.visitor">Visitor</option>
<option data-s="false" value="keyword">keyword</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup class="identifier" label="Keywords">
<option data-s="false" value="smart">smart</option>
<option data-s="false" value="purchasehistorybyattributes">purchasehistorybyattributes</option>
<option data-s="false" value="purchasehistorybycategory">purchasehistorybycategory</option>
<option data-s="false" value="tags">tags</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

The optgroup label as "Keywords" is invisible in the dropdown.

I've tried below ways but not luck :

 @browser.select_list(:class => "exp_left_hand").optgroup(:class => "identifier").option(:value => "tags").fire_event 'onclick'  # Without selecting the option its passing the scenario
@browser.select_list(:class => "exp_left_hand").optgroup(:class => "identifier").option(:value => "tags").when_present.click # is getting timedout

Thanks in advance

The hover event? Also you could try using send_keys, which I think lets you simulate a down arrow keypress (:arrow_down). But maybe someone else has a better idea

@browser.select_list(:class => "exp_left_hand").optgroup(:class => "identifier").select "tags"


Error :
expected Hash or (:how, 'what'), got ["tags"] (ArgumentError)

You want something like this.

b.option(:text => "tags").select
