无法从下拉选项中选择名称

Question

I've written some code in python in combination with selenium to select few options from three different dropdown boxes to reach the destination page. First off the browser is needed to click on a link in the first page to reach the page where dropdown item options are located. My script can click on the first page link but when it comes to choose the item from dropdown options then it fails to do that.

Site address URL

The link titled Search by Selecting a Plan or Network available in the first page (when clicked) leads to the second page where dropdown options can be found.

Options I wanna choose from three different dropdowns (from second page):

1. Medical
2. Arizona
3. All plans/networks

Here is what I've tried so far:

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

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get("use_above_link")
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "lnkGuestPlanSearch"))).click()

Select(driver.find_element_by_name('ctl00$MainContent$maincontent$pfSearchMain$pfSelfPlanSelection$ddlPlanC')).select_by_visible_text('Medical')
Select(driver.find_element_by_name('ctl00$MainContent$maincontent$pfSearchMain$pfSelfPlanSelection$ddlState')).select_by_visible_text('Arizona')
Select(driver.find_element_by_name('ctl00$MainContent$maincontent$pfSearchMain$pfSelfPlanSelection$ddlPlanN')).select_by_visible_text('All plans/networks')

driver.quit()

Elements within which dropdown options are embedded:

</select><div class="chosen-container chosen-container-single pf-field-320-30" style="width: 0px;" title="" id="ctl00_MainContent_maincontent_pfSearchMain_pfSelfPlanSelection_ddlPlanC_chosen"><a class="chosen-single"><span tabindex="0">Enter or select type of care</span><div><b></b></div></a><div class="chosen-drop"><div class="chosen-search"><input id="ctl00_MainContent_maincontent_pfSearchMain_pfSelfPlanSelection_ddlPlanC_chosen_input" type="text" autocomplete="off" title="auto"></div><ul class="chosen-results"></ul></div></div>

    </div>

    <div class="paddingtop50 paddingbottom50">

            <input type="submit" name="ctl00$MainContent$maincontent$pfSearchMain$pfSelfPlanSelection$btnPlanCancel" value="Cancel" id="ctl00_MainContent_maincontent_pfSearchMain_pfSelfPlanSelection_btnPlanCancel" class="secondaryButton buttonwidth150">
        </span>
          <span>
           <input type="submit" name="ctl00$MainContent$maincontent$pfSearchMain$pfSelfPlanSelection$btnPlanContinue" value="Continue" id="ctl00_MainContent_maincontent_pfSearchMain_pfSelfPlanSelection_btnPlanContinue" class="primaryButton buttonwidth150">
        </span>
    </div>
</div>

Btw, when clicking on the first page link, it is necessary to wait few seconds so that the first page can load it's content.

Answer 1

It seem that you're trying to handle wrong elements. Those select nodes are not what you actually need. You can do, for example,

type_of_care = driver.find_element_by_name('ctl00$MainContent$maincontent$pfSearchMain$pfSelfPlanSelection$ddlPlanC')
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].style.display="block";', type_of_care)

to see that it's totally different drop-down

Try below solution

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

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get("https://www.anthem.com/health-insurance/provider-directory/searchcriteria")
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "lnkGuestPlanSearch"))).click()

type_of_care = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, 'Enter or select type of care')))
type_of_care.click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//li[.="Medical"]'))).click()

state = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, 'Enter or select a state')))
state.click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//li[.="Arizona"]'))).click()

network_plan = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, 'Select a plan/network')))
network_plan.click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//li[.="All plans/networks"]'))).click()
