Question

Ok, that sounds too generic. I have been able to do this in other areas and I am not sure what is different here.

I have this little snippet of html in the page of my system under test:

<select id="TransferUnit" name="TransferUnit">
<option value="GB" selected="selected">GB</option>
<option value="TB">TB</option>
</select>

Pretty simple, right. From selenium, I can open the pulldown by issuing a .click() on the select element. I can check that the two options are visible with .is_displayed(). I can check if it is selected with .is_selected(). But I can’t get .click() to change which element in the list is selected.

Of course this works when I try it manually. But I am having a lot of trouble automating it.

Any assistance is welcome.

Answer 1

In the IDE, perform a click on an element with a locator like this:

xpath="//option[@value='TB']"
