I'm trying to select an option tag in the select element but I'm getting an error message saying element cannot be scrolled into view.
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable: Element is not currently visible and may not be manipulated (Session info: chrome=71.0.3578.98)
Code:
dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_id("motes"))
dropdown.select_by_value("ALDERSHOT [Aldershot]")
Your code should be
dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_id("motes"))
dropdown.select_by_visible_text("ALDERSHOT [Aldershot]")
There are three methods available to select an option from drop down.
dropdown.select_by_index(1) - Uses index of the option, starts from 1
dropdown.select_by_value("") - Uses value of the option i.e. text of html attribute 'value'
For example, if you want to select "ACOMB - ELEC [York Acomb]"
dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_id("motes"))
dropdown.select_by_index(4)
dropdown.select_by_visible_text("ACOMB - ELEC [York Acomb]")
dropdown.select_by_value("433372-#42454c")
Note: Value of ALDERSHOT [Aldershot] option is hidden in screenshot hence used alternative.
