Can't click to dropdown element. Selenium, Python

Question

My task is to ckoose one of dropdown elements.

My HTML is:

<td>
<select name="subtract">
<option selected="selected" value="1">Да</option>
<option value="0">Нет</option>
</select>
</td>

My code is:

>>>selectbox = ff.find_element_by_name("subtract")
>>>print (selectbox.text)
Да
Нет
>>>print(Select(selectbox).options)
[<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x00000000037992E8>, <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x0000000003799278>]
>>>print(Select(selectbox).select_by_index(0))
None
>>>print(Select(selectbox).select_by_value('0'))
None
>>>print(Select(selectbox).select_by_visible_text('Нет'))
None

So I really can't find where I am wrong?

I'm not sure about Select. But try this code:

find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='subtract']/option[@value='0']").click()

or this

find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='subtract']/option[@value='1']").click()

EDIT: or try using Select using xpath:

Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='subtract']").select_by_value('0')

You should be using Select... it's built specifically to handle SELECT elements and OPTIONS.

@JeffC - Well, if you look at the question, OP did try to use Select but it didn't work. The code which OP used seems legit but it was still not selecting that element. Hence, I suggested to find the element and click on it. Anyways, updated the answer. Have a look.

He's using it wrong. All of the select_by_*s return void... so what is it supposed to print???

JeffC Over a year ago

The .click() after select_by_value() should be removed. It's not needed since select_by_value() actually selects the value.

@JeffC - Well, OP did use Select(selectbox).select_by_value('0') but it didn't work for him.
