Example 5: select dropdown
There are 2 dropdowns
1- HTML
2- SELECT
we determine what kind of dropdown it is
-By tagName.We inspect.If it has <select> tag, it means it is <select> dropdown.
-If it is HTML, we can locate and click just as any other web element.
I handle Select type of dropdown by using Select class from Selenium.
- Methods to select from dropdown:
- selectByVisibleText
- selectByValue
- selectByIndex
I 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>
