Selenium Web driver select data from drop down by reading drop down value from excel sheet

Question

I am trying to select drop down value by reading drop down value from excel. I tried following code however, it is not selecting value as per data mentioned in the excel sheet. For me all data are populating correctly in the respective field except Gender drop down.

following are Screen shot of HTML code and UI:

Following are my HTML code:

<td class="codetable last-cell" headers="N224AA-4-2">
<div id="widget___o3id7" class="dijit dijitReset dijitInline dijitLeft codetable dijitTextBox dijitComboBox" lang="en-US" role="listbox" dir="ltr" widgetid="__o3id7" aria-expanded="false">
<div class="dijitReset dijitRight dijitButtonNode dijitArrowButton dijitDownArrowButton dijitArrowButtonContainer" role="presentation" data-dojo-attach-point="_buttonNode, _popupStateNode" popupactive="true">
<input class="dijitReset dijitInputField dijitArrowButtonInner" type="text" role="presentation" readonly="readonly" tabindex="-1" value="▼ ">
</div>
<div class="dijitReset dijitValidationContainer">
<input class="dijitReset dijitInputField dijitValidationIcon dijitValidationInner" type="text" role="presentation" readonly="readonly" tabindex="-1" value="Χ ">
</div>
<div class="dijitReset dijitInputField dijitInputContainer">
<input id="__o3id7" class="dijitReset dijitInputInner" type="text" aria-haspopup="true" role="textbox" data-dojo-attach-point="textbox,focusNode" autocomplete="off" aria-required="true" tabindex="0" title="Gender Mandatory" size="1" value="Male" aria-owns="__o3id7_popup" aria-activedescendant="__o3id7_popup1">
<input type="hidden" name="__o3id7" value="SX1">
</div>
</div>
</td>

I populated test data in the excel sheet as below where "Female" is drop down value:

UserName password123    100000005   Elena   Sawyerehde  Female

Following are my code:

Answer 1

As there is no Select tag in the code you pasted, using select for clicking dropdown won't help.

As per your test script and Html code the id value for the dropdown is different.

//*[@id='widget___o3id7'] - used in the xpath to select dropdown, where in the html code id = "__o3id7" .

Try after changing them

Its better to share your UI to understand the scenario and come to a conclusion

Thanks for sharing the UI and HTML code.

    driver.findElement(By.id("__o3id7")).click();
    Thread.sleep(1500);
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Female')]")).click();

Replace your select statement and try this codes. Lets hope this would click 'Female' from your drop down.
