I’ve tried for days to figure this one out. I have a selector that I can’t figure out. It seems to be a regular select statement with multiple options but when clicking one option directly it changes the title on a button. I can’t figure out how to manipulate it. All I want to do is find a specific selection option and select it. I don’t need to select multiple options.
The code I’m seeing is as follows:
<select multiple=”” id=”assignTo” data-placeholder=”Select Instructor(s)” title=”Instructor(S)” name=”instructors” class=”form-control bootstrapmultiselect” style=”display: none;”>
<option value=”864979″>Joe Smith</option>
<option value=”355944″>Mary Jones</option>
<option value=”44177″>Bill Smith</option>
<option value=”551573″>Susan Carter</option>
<option value=”883308″>Brian Bird</option>
</select>
<div class=”btn-group” style=”width: 100%;”>
<button type=”button” class=”multiselect dropdown-toggle btn btn-default” data-toggle=”dropdown” title=”None selected” style=”width: 100%;”>None selected <strong class=”caret”></strong></button>
Here’s the code I’ve tried:
drop = select(driver.find_element_by_id(‘assignTo’))
instructor_option = WebDriverWait(driver,5).until(lambda x: x.find_element_by_xpath(“//select[@id=’assignTo’]/option[text()=’Bill Smith’]”))
instructor_option.select()
Any ideas? I appreciate any help at all!
