How to Select Value from DropDown using Selenium Webdriver?
We can select an option from the dropdown with its value attribute in Selenium webdriver by using the Select class. . A dropdown is represented by <select> tag and the options are represented by <option> tag.
To select an option with its value we have to use the selectByValue method and pass the value attribute of the option that we want to select as a parameter to that method.
Syntax
WebElement v = driver.findElement(By.name("selt"));
Select s = new Select(v);
s.selectByValue("val1");Let us see the html code of a dropdown having value attribute for its options.
Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select
public class SelectDrpDwn{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//implicit wait
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//URL launch
driver.get("http://www.uitestpractice.com/Students/Select");
//identify dropdown
WebElement n = driver.findElement(By.id("countriesSingle"));
Select sl = new Select(n);
//option by value
sl.selectByValue("usa");
//get option with text
String s = sl.getFirstSelectedOption().getText();
System.out.println("Value selected: : " + s);
driver.quit();
}
}Output
