Could not select drop down list option in selenium java

Question

Based on the image below the dropdown list option id is id="CountryId"

 Select dropdown = new Select(obj.findElement(By.id("CountryId"))); System.out.println(dropdown + "is trigger"); dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Malaysia"); dropdown.selectByValue("52");

Based on the snippet above I am keep getting error which could not select the drop down list option

@Prophet demowebshop.tricentis.com You have to add a product to cart and u will see a dropdown list option at cart page — Jordan, CommentedAug 30, 2021 at 11:25

You can try with JS as well :

JavascriptExecutor js=(JavascriptExecutor) driver; js.executeScript("return document.getElementById('CountryId').selectedIndex = '52';");

update 1 :

driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.get("http://demowebshop.tricentis.com/cart"); WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.partialLinkText("BOOKS"))).click(); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("h2.product-title a"))).click(); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("input[id^='add-to-cart-button']"))).click(); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("shopping cart"))).click(); Select select = new Select(wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("CountryId")))); select.selectByValue("52");

Can you share the entire error stack trace ? In text format here ? — cruisepandey, CommentedAug 30, 2021 at 11:32

yes thanks it works i think is because i did not add the WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30); — Jordan, CommentedAug 31, 2021 at 6:49

Is the page fully loaded when you try to click on that dropdown?

Is that dropdown inside another object and not accesible on its own?

One of those things are happening.

I'd start with

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(yourDriver, 10); WebElement select = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(selectFinder))); select.click();

If that doesn't work then the select is not accesible on its own and you need to go through its parent items on the HTML until its available. It doesnt make much sense but thats how selenium works.
