如何使用 Selenium WebDriver 和 Java 获取选定的选项

Question

I want to get the selected label or value of a drop down using Selenium WebDriver and then print it on the console .

I am able to select any value from the drop down, but I am not able to retrieve the selected value and print it:

Select select = new 
Select(driver.findElement(By.id("MyDropDown"))).selectByVisibleText(data[11].substring(1 , data[11].length()-1));
WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption();

But all my efforts were in vain. How do I get the selected option?

Answer 1

You should be able to get the text using getText() (for the option element you got using getFirstSelectedOption() ):

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select")));
WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption();
String defaultItem = option.getText();
System.out.println(defaultItem );

Answer 2

Completing the answer:

String selectedOption = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("Type the xpath of the drop-down element"))).getFirstSelectedOption().getText();

Assert.assertEquals("Please select any option...", selectedOption);

Answer 3

In Selenium Python it is:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

def get_selected_value_from_drop_down(self):
    try:
        select = Select(WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'data_configuration_edit_data_object_tab_details_lb_use_for_match'))))
        return select.first_selected_option.get_attribute("value")
    except NoSuchElementException, e:
        print "Element not found "
        print e

Answer 4

On the following option:

WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption();
option.getText();

If from the method getText() you get a blank, you can get the string from the value of the option using the method getAttribute :

WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption();
option.getAttribute("value");

Answer 5

short answer

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select")));
System.out.println("selected items from the dropdown"+ select.getFirstSelectedOption().getText());

Answer 6

var option = driver.FindElement(By.Id("employmentType"));
        var selectElement = new SelectElement(option);
        Task.Delay(3000).Wait();
        selectElement.SelectByIndex(2);
        Console.Read();
