Selecting dropdown in WebDriverJs

Question

I have a dropdown box that I would like to select a value using WebDriverJS. I've looked at the user guide below and could not find out how to do it

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/WebDriverJs

I even try a few things that was documented for Java version like this:

webdriver.Select(driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id("vote"))).selectByValue("5")

And it just simply says that "Select" does not exist.

I went through the source and still cannot find anything that I can use.

Answer 1

You don't need two clicks to select an option, just click on the option directly. Something like,

driver.findElement(wd.By.css('#month>option[title="November"]')).click();

Answer 2

I shared a function to select a drop down item by it's text here.

The code:

function selectOption(selector, item){
    var selectList, desiredOption;

    selectList = this.findElement(selector);
    selectList.click();

    selectList.findElements(protractor.By.tagName('option'))
        .then(function findMatchingOption(options){
            options.some(function(option){
                option.getText().then(function doesOptionMatch(text){
                    if (item === text){
                        desiredOption = option;
                        return true;
                    }
                });
            });
        })
        .then(function clickOption(){
            if (desiredOption){
                desiredOption.click();
            }
        });
}

use with:

driver.selectOption = selectOption.bind(driver);
driver.selectOption(webdriver.By.id('my-dropdown'), 'My Value');

Answer 3

driver.findElement({id: 'myDropDown'});// select dropdown element you wish to select
driver.sleep(1000);//not necessary
driver.findElement({id: 'myDropDown'}).sendKeys('name_of_option');//sending keys automatically fills dropdown with desired option

I am using webdriverjs and want to select the option by index, so did:

driver.click('#my_select_box').click('#my_select_box option:nth-child(3)')
