I have to select options from a drop down on a page. I tried the below code but it is showing a syntax error. Can somebody help me with this?
web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
Select sel = new Select(x)
sel.select_by_value("Iphone")
I tries Web_element, WebElement too. But this is showing syntax error for the very first line.
web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
You can use the following code block to select the option Apple iPhone 6 128GB from the suggestions:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path= r"C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get('https://tradein.vodafone.co.uk/#/topmodel')
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='txtSearchPhone']").send_keys("Apple iPhone 6 128GB")
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//li[@class='ui-menu-item']/a[contains(@id, 'ui-id-')][text()='Apple iPhone 6 128GB']")))
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//li[@class='ui-menu-item']/a[contains(@id, 'ui-id-')][text()='Apple iPhone 6 128GB']").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("txtSearchPhone") is an input tag not a select tag. How can you apply Select sel = new Select(x) on it?HTML or the url if it is a public one?what you're typing is not valid Python. Are you looking at an actual Python example?
## not valid Python code.
web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
Select sel = new Select(x)
sel.select_by_value("Iphone")
what you need to do is find the select box...
select_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="yourSelectBoxId"]')
than iterate your select box...
for i in select_box:
if i.text == "some text":
i.click();
Before all of that, you probably need to spend some time learning the Python language.
Python is a Dynamically typed language, you don't need to specify the type of the variable when you declare a variable.
a=10
creates a int and
name="hello world" creates a string
You can use the following code block to select the option "MUMBAI" from the suggestions:
def autocomplete_select_Submission(self, by, value, text, timeout=10):
"""Selects an option from an autocomplete dropdown by typing and choosing the first suggestion."""
input_field = WebDriverWait(self.driver, timeout).until(
EC.visibility_of_element_located((by, value))
)
input_field.clear()
input_field.send_keys(text) # Enter text
time.sleep(3) # Increase time for dropdown to load
# Wait until at least one suggestion appears
suggestions = WebDriverWait(self.driver, timeout).until(
EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "ui-menu-item"))
)
for suggestion in suggestions:
print(f"Suggestion found: {suggestion.text}") # Debugging
if text.upper() in suggestion.text.upper():
suggestion.click()
print(f"Selected {text} from autocomplete")
return
# If no exact match, try arrow key + Enter
input_field.send_keys(Keys.DOWN)
input_field.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
print(f"{value} updated with {text} using keyboard")
