How to select options from 3 interlinked dropdowns with the same class name and different values using Selenium and Java

Question

I have 3 options in a home page with the same class name and different values see code bellow:

First Option menu

 <select class="form-control mandatory" tabindex="4" required="" autocomplete="off" name="SearchHome.documentType">
    <option value=""></option>
    <option value="VISA">Visa</option>
    <option value="EDF">EDF</option>
    </select>

Second Option menu

<select class="form-control mandatory" tabindex="5" required="" autocomplete="off" name="SearchHome.documentSubType">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="BusinessVisa">Business Visa</option>
<option value="VisitantVisa">Visitant Visa</option>
<option value="WorkingVisa">Working Visa</option>
<option value="ResidenceVisa">Residence Visa</option>
<option value="StudentVisa">Student Visa</option>
<option value="TouristVisa">Tourist Visa</option>
<option value="VisaForTemporaryResidence">Visa for Temporary Residence</option>
<option value="VisaSportsCulture">Visa Sports + Culture</option>
<option value="VisaForInvestmentActivity">Visa For Investment Activity</option>
</select>

Third Option menu

<select class="form-control mandatory" tabindex="6" required="" autocomplete="off" name="SearchHome.useCaseName">
<option value=""></option><option value="EXTENSION">EXTENSION</option>
</select>

The values from the second and third option menu are dynamic. i.e. depending on what I choose in the first option menu the value in the second option menu will be different. And also depending on value I choose in the second option menu the value will be different on the third option menu.

I'm trying to automatically select the first option values (already did it), however when I try to select the second option values is always getting the first option values. :(

I tried to switch tab but this is not helping.

}

// not using this method for now
private static void CloseAndQuitWebDriver() {
     driver.close();
     driver.quit();
    
}

How can I select the second and third dropdown tab with correct values ?

Use name attribute in xpath which will uniquely identify the dropdown element.

Dropdown 1:

 //select[@name='SearchHome.documentType']

Dropdown 2:

//select[@name='SearchHome.documentSubType']

Dropdown 3:

//select[@name='SearchHome.useCaseName']

Effectively your code will be

WebElement mySelectElm1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@name='SearchHome.documentType']")); 

WebElement mySelectElm2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@name='SearchHome.documentSubType']")); 

WebElement mySelectElm3 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@name='SearchHome.useCaseName']"));

To select

VISA as the <option> from the first dropdown,
BusinessVisa as the <option> from the second dropdown,
EXTENSION as the <option> from the third dropdown,

You need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using cssSelector and selectByVisibleText():

new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("select.form-control.mandatory[name='SearchHome.documentType']")))).selectByVisibleText("Visa");
new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("select.form-control.mandatory[name='SearchHome.documentSubType']")))).selectByVisibleText("Business Visa");
new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("select.form-control.mandatory[name='SearchHome.useCaseName']")))).selectByVisibleText("EXTENSION");

Using xpath and selectByValue():

new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//select[@class='form-control mandatory' and @name='SearchHome.documentType']")))).selectByValue("VISA");
new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//select[@class='form-control mandatory' and @name='SearchHome.documentSubType']")))).selectByValue("BusinessVisa");
new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//select[@class='form-control mandatory' and @name='SearchHome.useCaseName']")))).selectByValue("EXTENSION");
