Trying to select an option from the dropdown in Selenium web automation -error- "ElementNotInteractableException: could not be scrolled into view"

public class dropDown {

    public void site() throws InterruptedException{
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "geckodriver");
        driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("https://www.amazon.com/");

            driver.close();

        @Test
        public void register() throws InterruptedException{
        Select s = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='searchDropdownBox']")));
        s.selectByValue("search-alias=alexa-skills");
        }
}

Code Explanation:

I am trying to automate www.amazon.com web page. There is drop down list called "All" in the home page itself. if we click the All dropdown menu there will be different option to choose. Using Selenium automation I am trying to click the drop down and select one of the option.

Select s = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='searchDropdownBox']")));
s.selectByValue("search-alias=alexa-skills");

Error:

FAILED: register
org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: Element <option> could not be scrolled into view
Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:17:03'

The above text is the element. Due to the text limitation I am not able to add the whole html element — Krishnaveni Raju, Sep 11 '20 at 22:02
Try adding explicit wait using ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElement . — Avinash Sagar, Sep 11 '20 at 22:07

To select the option with text as Books from the dropdown you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using cssSelector and selectByVisibleText():

new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("select#searchDropdownBox")))).selectByVisibleText("Books");

Using xpath and selectByValue():

new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//select[@id='searchDropdownBox']")))).selectByValue("search-alias=stripbooks-intl-ship");

Great! This will be helpful to me in the future. But I think I have located the element of search box instead of drop down button. because drop down is div element.

Since I am following a tutorial, I believe soon I will find the solution to select the drop down option for div tag, because the above code I mentioned will work for "select" tag. Thanks for your response @DebanjanB. – Krishnaveni Raju Sep 12 '20 at 15:30
@KrishnaveniRaju Aren't you trying to interact with the same ` – undetected Selenium Sep 16 '20 at 12:58
