How to select a dropdown value in Selenium WebDriver using Java

by

Just wrap your WebElement into Select Object as shown below

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("identifier")));

Once this is done you can select the required value in 3 ways. Consider an HTML file like this

<html>
<body>
<select id = "designation">
<option value = "MD">MD</option>
<option value = "prog"> Programmer </option>
<option value = "CEO"> CEO </option>
</option>
</select>
<body>
</html>

Now to identify dropdown do

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("designation")));

To select its option say ‘Programmer’ you can do

dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Programmer ");

or

dropdown.selectByIndex(1);

or

 dropdown.selectByValue("prog");
