Below is the web element code im trying to fetch:

<select style="border-radius: 3px;" ng-model="selectedRcc.value" ng-options="item for item in ['LK', 'US', 'GLOBAL']" class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched" tabindex="0" aria-invalid="false">

Use the below xpath

//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']/option[.='LK']

Code:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']/option[.='LK']").click()

  • I am getting following exception. Could you please help `selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//Select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']/option[.='LK']"} (Session info: chrome=74.0.3729.157) (Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17763 x86_64)` – Ruwendra Benjamin May 22 '19 at 09:04
  • Can you check if the list box is part of the current window. `print(len(driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']"))))`. – supputuri May 22 '19 at 12:36
  • I am getting following output for print:- 0 – Ruwendra Benjamin May 23 '19 at 06:04
  • So, it's not able to identify the list box first place. Can you please check if the list box present in the iframe. – supputuri May 23 '19 at 13:38

When you have select element it always good to use selenium select class to select item from drop down menu.

select=Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']"))
select.select_by_visible_text('GLOBAL')
select.select_by_visible_text('LK')

OR you can use index.

select=Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']"))
select.select_by_index(0) #LK
select.select_by_index(2) #GLOBAL

To use above code you need to have following imports.

from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

  • I tried both codes but still get an error as follows: selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']"} FYI: I am using python 3 – Ruwendra Benjamin May 21 '19 at 09:30
  • This shouldn't happen.verified on my pc and posted.Try put some sleep before accessing the element and then check. – KunduK May 21 '19 at 09:36
  • Thanks for your help. i'll try that now – Ruwendra Benjamin May 21 '19 at 09:39
  • put some time.sleep(5) before call select element and check if it is working.if not then check any iframe available above your select element in DOM. – KunduK May 21 '19 at 09:41
  • Still i get the same error. code i used: time.sleep(5) select=Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@class='ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched']")) select.select_by_visible_text('GLOBAL') select.select_by_visible_text('LK') – Ruwendra Benjamin May 21 '19 at 09:44
