Not able to select drop down value

[mrigank ved]

Hi All,

I am not able select dropdown value.

Scripted as:

element=driver.findElement(By.id("Ticket_classification"));

Select clickThis=new Select(element);

clickThis.selectByValue("Down");

But showing below error but value what i am giving is correct

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Cannot locate option with value: Down

For documentation on this error, please visit: http://seleniumhq.org/exceptions/no_such_element.html

Please Help me

Regards,

Mrigank

Hi Mrigank,

You can try two way to select value in field-

First-

driver.findElement(By.XPath(xyz)/option[2]).click();

Second-

Select drop = new Select (driver.findElement(By.xpath ("xyz']")));
               
drop.selectByIndex(2);

Let me know if it works.

Hi Mayank,

With second it worked.

thanks Mayank.

Is the value really down?  or is the visibleText down? Do you really want to:

clickThis.selectByVisibleText("Down");

I'm having a similar problem where selectByVisibleText("Default") does not work but selectByIndex(1) does.  I don't see any error when selectByVisibleText is called, it just doesn't change the selection in the dropdown.

<select id="skill_model_select" name="skill_model" title="Sorted by AIC, ascending."><option value="11232" title="Export7">
      Export7
    </option><option value="603" title="Default">
      Default
    </option><option value="13292" title="Single-KC">
      Single-KC
    </option><option value="13293" title="Unique-step">
      Unique-step
    </option>
</select>

I'm using selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0.jar with Firefox 20.0.1.  I also tried 2.32.0 with the same results.

Well, this is interesting...  I found that if I call selectByVisibleText twice, with a slight delay between calls, it works. Any theories as to why it doesn't work on the first call?  Has anyone else had to do similar workarounds?

Thanks!

Could the drop down list is hidden by javascript, and a mouse over event or the like required to display the list on screen?

Webdriver cannot interact (by design) with objects that are not visible to the user (obviously not including javascript firing here!)

It turns out that something changed in the UI. Where I used to be able to use the id "skill_model_select", I now have to get the Select element as "(//select[@id='skill_model_select'])[2]".  I'll have to talk to the developers about what's changed and why.

Thanks.
