selenium select option in dropdown python code example

Example 1: python selenium select dropdown

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('url')

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('fruits01'))

# select by visible text
select.select_by_visible_text('Banana')

# select by value 
select.select_by_value('1')

Example 2: python selenium dropdown without select

# Just found a very simple solution for this annoying problem
# Been looking around for days just to solve it, Selecting dropdowns without Select class

# Find your dropdown element by the following, finds the element in the dropdown named BRA
Dropdown_Element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[text()='BRA']").click()

# Store the ActionChains class inside the actions variable
actions = ActionChains(driver)

# Click on the element using the click(on_element=)
actions.click(on_element=Dropdown_Element)
time.sleep(2)
actions.perform()

# Hopes this helped :)
