[very new at selenium and HTML]
I want to select a drop down from a website. The type
is hidden. I just want to pass or select either male
or female
from the drop down or pass it into the value
variable, how would I do this?
I used the inspect element in chrome to determine the two lines below are the ones required to select a value.
<div class="Select has-value is-clearable is-searchable Select--single">
<input name="customer.gender" type="hidden" value="female">
I got the xpath from chrome and tried to pass a value but did not work:
gender = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='app']/div/div[1]/div[4]/div/div[2]/form/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div/span[2]/div/input")
gender.send_keys('male')
The entire HTML of the above div
element is:
<div class="Select has-value is-clearable is-searchable Select--single">
<input name="customer.gender" type="hidden" value="female">
<div class="Select-control">
<span class="Select-multi-value-wrapper" id="react-select-5--value">
<div class="Select-value">
<span class="Select-value-label" role="option" aria-selected="true" id="react-select-5--value-item">Female</span>
</div>
<div class="Select-input" style="display: inline-block;">
<input aria-activedescendant="react-select-5--value" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="false"
aria-owns="" role="combobox" value="" style="box-sizing: content-box; width: 5px;">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; visibility: hidden; height: 0px; overflow: scroll; white-space: pre; font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none;"></div>
</div>
</span>
<span aria-label="Clear value" class="Select-clear-zone" title="Clear value">
<span class="Select-clear">×</span>
</span>
<span class="Select-arrow-zone">
<span class="Select-arrow"></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
Thank you in advance.
edit:
HTML from where I click on the drop down without any values selected:
<div class="Select is-searchable Select--single">
<div class="Select-control">
<span class="Select-multi-value-wrapper" id="react-select-5--value">
<div class="Select-placeholder">Select:</div>
<div class="Select-input" style="display: inline-block;">
<input aria-activedescendant="react-select-5--value" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="false"
aria-owns="" role="combobox" value="" style="box-sizing: content-box; width: 5px;">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; visibility: hidden; height: 0px;
overflow: scroll; white-space: pre; font-size: 14px;
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none;"></div>

Your dropdown is a React Component, I get example from this site .
// click on dropdown to expand options
dirver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@id='react-select-5--value']/..").click();
// choose option
dirver.find_element_by_xpath(
"//span[@id='react-select-5--value']/../.." +
"//div[@role='option'][text()='%s']".format("Male")).click();
The dropdown options inside node: <div class="Select-menu-outer">
, this node is attached to the page after you click on the dropdown, and de-attached from page after you choose one option.
