使用硒python从下拉菜单中动态查找最高价值

Question

I'm using Python with Selenium. I'm trying to automate an application in which i need to extract top value from a drop menu. The values keep on changing so i cannot pass a static xpath to my selenium python code.

I tried the following code but none of them working.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
import selenium.webdriver.support.ui as UI
select=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='code' and @name='Code1']")
for option in select.options:
    print(option.text,option.get_attribute('value'))

The idea is to find all the values and extract the top value. When i print select.options I don't see anything. I extracted the following HTML by inspecting the drop down menu.

<select name="Code1" style="width:250px" class="code" id="code">
    <option value="Select Code">Select  Code</option>
    <option value="GGGSGSG:C">GGGSGSG:C</option>
    <option value="AHR060">AHR060--NORTH</option>
    <option value="AGSGGS">AGSGGS--PTSTTS</option>
    <option value="NANNAN">NANNAN--BTSTT</option>
</select>

Now the values keep changing so I cannot pass any specific value in xpath. I need to find all option values dynamically and pass the top one to a variable and using that variable call xpath and click the element.

Answer 1

You can try the following to select the top element using index.

select = UI.Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='code' and 
@name='Code1']"))
select.select_by_index(0) 

Answer 2

try this

from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select as WebDriverSelect
select_element = WebDriverSelect(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='code' and @name='Code1']"))
select_element.select_by_index(0)

Answer 3

Why not just use a css selector for the first value, something like:

select#code option + option

or xpath

//select[@id='code']/option[2]
