handling select in selenium code example
Example 1: how to handle select dropdown in 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.
-> 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>
Example 2: select statement in selenium
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String baseUrl = "http://demo.guru99.com/test/link.html";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G:\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("click here")).click();
System.out.println("title of page is: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
}
