How to select element from drop-down menu via selenium and python?

Question

i am trying to play with autologin tests via selenium driver and python. I am using this site https://invoiceaccess.pgiconnect.com/ What i did:


    from selenium import webdriver
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    driver.get("https://invoiceaccess.pgiconnect.com")
    driver.find_element_by_id("LoginId").send_keys("test-account")
    driver.find_element_by_id("LoginPassword").send_keys("test-password")
    #driver.find_element_by_id("submit").click()

Everythyhing works, but i have a problem with selecting from drop-down menu. For example, i have html code of this menu.


    <select class="regiondropdown" data-val="true" data-val-required="Please Select Region" id="Region" name="Region"><option value="">Select Region</option>
    <option value="us">America</option>
    <option value="europe">Europe</option>
    <option value="apac">APAC</option>
    </select>

I tried this:


    element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='Region']")
    all_options = element.find_elements_by_tag_name("option")
    for option in all_options:
        print("Value is: %s" % option.get_attribute("US"))
        option.click()

For example, i need to select America, but it selects APAC. Where i made error, who can help me please ?

Do you want to retrieve the inner text of each option ? Or specifically the option which has "us" for value ? — mgc

To select the value America from drop down box try this code.It worked for me.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

driver=webdriver.Chrome("Path of the Chrome driver" + "chromedriver.exe" )
driver.get("https://invoiceaccess.pgiconnect.com")

select =Select(driver.find_element_by_id("Region"))
select.select_by_value("us")

To retrieve the specific option of your select element which has us for value you can use the Select selenium class to do something like this :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

option = Select(
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='Region']")
).select_by_value("us")
print(option.text) # Should print 'America'

Or you can also do this with css selectors :

selec = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='Region']")
option = selec.find_element_by_css_selector("option[value=\"us\"]")
print(option.text) # Should print 'America'

Generic code for list using xpath and select

from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://invoiceaccess.pgiconnect.com/")
driver.maximize_window()
def ListItemSelection(countrycode):
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select/option[@value='" + countrycode + "']").click()

ListItemSelection("us")
time.sleep(1)
ListItemSelection("europe")
time.sleep(1)
ListItemSelection("apac")
time.sleep(1)
driver.quit()
