declare the drop-down element as an instance of the select class code example
Example 1: select dropdown selenium
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>
