How to select an option in a static dropdown in Selenium?
We can select an option in a static dropdown in Selenium webdriver. Selenium can handle static dropdowns with the help of the Select class. A dropdown is identified with select tagname and its options are represented with the tagname option. The statement - from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select should be added to work with Select class.
Methods under the Select class are listed below −
- select_by_visible_text (arg) – it shall select all the options which displayed text matches with the argument.
Syntax−
sel = Select (driver.find_element_by_id ("name"))
sel.select_by_visible_text ('Visible Text')- select_by_value (arg) – it shall select all the options having a value that matches with the argument.
Syntax−
sel = Select (driver.find_element_by_id ("name"))
sel.select_by_value ('Value')- select_by_index (arg) – Tit shall select an option that matches with the argument. The index begins from zero.
Syntax−
sel = Select (driver.find_element_by_id ("name"))
sel.select_by_index (1)- deselect_by_visible_text (arg) – it shall deselect all the options which displayed text matches with the argument.
Syntax−
sel = Select (driver.find_element_by_id ("name"))
sel.deselect_by_visible_text ('Visible Text')- deselect_by_value (arg) – it shall deselect all the options having a value that matches with the argument.
Syntax−
sel = Select (driver.find_element_by_id ("name"))
sel.deselect_by_value ('Value')- deselect_by_index(arg) – it shall deselect that matches with the argument. The index begins from zero.
Syntax−
sel = Select(driver.find_element_by_id ("name"))
sel.deselect_by_index(1)- all_selected_options – it shall yield all the options which are selected for a dropdown.
- first_selected_option - it shall yield the first selected option for a multiselect dropdown or the currently selected option in a normal dropdown.
- options - it shall yield all the options available under the select tagname.
- deselect_all - it shall clear all the selected options in a multi-select dropdown.
