In this tutorial, we will get to know how we can get the option values of a dropdown using Webdriver. This can be done by using getOptions().
getOptions( ) : List – It shows all options belonging to the Select tag. It takes no parameter and returns List.
oSelect.getOptions();
Below is an example on how to use getOptions. We want to print all the options of Drop Down Month.
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
public class DropDown_Options {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty(“webdriver.gecko.driver”,“C:\\Users\\vibha\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.24.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe”);
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/";);
Select mselect = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id(“month”)));
// Print all the options for the selected drop down and select one option of your choice
// Get the size of the Select element
List mSize = mselect.getOptions();
int OptionSize = mSize.size();
// Setting up the loop to print all the options
for(int i =0; i < OptionSize ; i++)
{
// Storing the value of the option
String Options = mselect.getOptions().get(i).getText();
// Printing the stored value
System.out.println(Options);
}
}
}
