Using python selenium to select a option from a google form dropdown

Question

I have followed the steps of another stackoverflow but cannot figure out how to achieve the goal.

My code:

from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver import WebDriver



url = "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSds6e0UN4V9j3eNvZ3Tm6kRVEC0Ak74m4rBB8IGJIUEnTGmaw/formResponse"

def foo(opt="Option 2", delay=20):
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver import WebDriver
    import time

    driver = WebDriver()
    driver.get(url)
    driver.find_element_by_class_name("quantumWizMenuPaperselectOptionList").click()
    options=driver.find_element_by_class_name("exportSelectPopup")
    time.sleep(3)
    print(options)
    contents = options.find_elements_by_tag_name('content')
    [i.click() for i in contents if i.text == opt]
foo()

The code works until it is supposed to select Option 2 form the dropdown. When it gets to this point it selects the dropdown button but doesn't select an option (picture below)

You can put this piece of code to where the program's supposed to select an option:

from pyautogui import write

option_number = 3 # Choose option number here

# Put this where the program's supposed to select an option
for _ in range(option_number):
    write(['down'])
write(['enter'])

Thanks it worked! I just added `time.sleep(3)` in between the for loop and when it writes enter – Peter Jun 10 '20 at 00:49
Is it possible to make this work in headless mode? @Ann Zen – Peter Jun 14 '20 at 17:35
