How to Input value from dropdown in selenium python?

Question

Need to input the value "Users" from drop down and click the create button

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

EMAILFIELD = (By.ID, "username")
PASSWORDFIELD = (By.ID, "password")
LOGINBUTTON = (By.ID, "Login")
CLICKBUTTON= (By.ID, "thePage:rtForm:createButton")
QUICKFINDSEARCH = (By.ID, "quickFindInput")

browser = webdriver.Chrome(
    executable_path=r"C:/Users/RYadav/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Python 3.8/chromedriver.exe")
browser.get('https://fleet.my.salesforce.com/')

# wait for email field and enter email
WebDriverWait(browser, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(EMAILFIELD)).send_keys("[email protected]")

# wait for password field and enter password
WebDriverWait(browser, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(PASSWORDFIELD)).send_keys("1234zxcvb")

# Click Login - same id?
WebDriverWait(browser, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(LOGINBUTTON)).click()

#direct new reportfield
browser.get('https://fleet.my.salesforce.com/reportbuilder/reportType.apexp')

#search the Users from dropdown and click button
select = Select(webdriver.find_element_by_id("quickFindInput"))
select.select_by_visible_text("Users")
WebDriverWait(browser, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(CLICKBUTTON)).click()

Please suggest how to input a value from dropdown to the above code. This code throws Attribute Error.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/RYadav/PycharmProjects/ElementProject/SalesforceUrl.py", line 30, in <module>
    select = Select(webdriver.find_element_by_id("quickFindInput"))
AttributeError: module 'selenium.webdriver' has no attribute 'find_element_by_id'

You were so close. Through out your program you had been using browser as the WebDriver instance. But called through a differnt name webdriver in the line:

select = Select(webdriver.find_element_by_id("quickFindInput"))

You need to change the line as:

select = Select(browser.find_element_by_id("quickFindInput"))

It's throwing no error but it's not picking the "Users" value and clicking the create button there. The purpose is still not fulfilled. Kindly suggest

@ruchiyadav This answer was to address the issue of AttributeError: module 'selenium.webdriver' has no attribute 'find_element_by_id' nothing more then that.

Thank you. I will be really grateful if you could suggest more on the search box query. How should it be done

@ruchiyadav Actually, while writing the answer I took an attempt to login using the credentials you have published but my login attempts were not successful. Else I would had given it even before you had asked it :)

@ruchiyadav If it is a <select> node you were on the right track. However I would suggest while invoking click() or send_keys() always induce WebDriverWait with the expected_conditions set as element_to_be_clickable()
