How do you handle Select type of dropdown?
- If it is <select> we would have to use Select class from Selenium.
- Methods to select from dropdown:
- selectByVisibleText
- selectByValue
- selectByIndex
--> How do we verify which option is selected in a dropdown?
- If we want to get the currently selected option,
we use getFirstSelectedOption() method.
getFirstSelectedOption();
-> return type: currently selected option as a web element
--> .getOptions();
-> This method will return all of the options in the <select> web element.
-> return type: List<WebElement>
// Create object of the Select class
Select se = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='oldSelectMenu']")));
// Select the option by index
se.selectByIndex(3);
action=ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element(driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/header/header/div[3]/ul/li[2]/a'))
action.perform()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/header/header/div[3]/ul/li[2]/ul/li[1]/a').click()
