Question

I am trying force the ChromeDriver to select an item from the select box. However its failing on the line

    Options = select.getOptions(); 

Strange is, that in below code, the getText(); method prints out all items in the select:

  productChoooser.getText() = ...
  BASE 2013
  BASE 2014

but still I get exception… Code which is trying to click the item in select box:

    List<WebElement> Options;
    WebElement productChoooser = driver.findElement(By.id("mainForm:aucPanelId:1:product"));
    System.out.println("productChoooser.getText() = " + productChoooser.getText());
    Select select = new Select(productChoooser);
    Options = select.getOptions();
    String product = "BASE 2013";
    for (WebElement option:Options){
        System.out.println("option.getText() = " + option.getText()); 
       if(option.getText().equals(product)){
           option.click();
       }
    }

Does anyone know how to avoid it? I tried to update the Chrome and chromedriver.exe to the newest version, but without any success…

        WebElement select = webDriver.findElement(selector);
        List<WebElement> optionList = select.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
        for (WebElement option : optionList) {
            if (option.getText().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("your value")) {
                option.click();
                break;
            }
        }
