I'm working with Selenium in Python. I would like to get the .val() of a <select> element and check that it is what I expect.
This is my code:
def test_chart_renders_from_url(self): url = 'http://localhost:8000/analyse/' self.browser.get(url) org = driver.find_element_by_id('org') # Find the value of org? How can I do this? The Selenium docs seem to have plenty about selecting elements but nothing about attributes.

We can find an element using the attribute name with Selenium webdriver using the locators - name, css, or xpath. To identify the element with css, the expression should be tagname[name='value'] and the method to be used is By. cssSelector.
The getText() method simply returns the visible text present between the start and end tags (which is not hidden by CSS). The getAttribute() method on the other hand identifies and fetches the key-value pairs of attributes within the HTML tags.
You are probably looking for get_attribute(). An example is shown here as well
def test_chart_renders_from_url(self): url = 'http://localhost:8000/analyse/' self.browser.get(url) org = driver.find_element_by_id('org') # Find the value of org? val = org.get_attribute("attribute name") If you love us?
