Selecting options using Selenium and Python

by

To select the select-options with text as CSV from the html-select tag using Selenium you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    select = Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "select.Select[name="Format"]"))))
select.select_by_visible_text("CSV")

  • Using XPATH:

    select = Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//select[@class="Select" and @name="Format"]"))))
select.select_by_visible_text("CSV")

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
