How to get selected option value in protractor

Question

How can I get currently selected option value of selectbox?

I have tried below code but it\'s not working.

element(by.css(\'#selectbox\')).all(by.tag

You can either use .filter() to filter out the selected option, or target it directly with a CSS selector:

element(by.css('#selectbox option[selected]'))

Note that there is an overall nicer way to deal/interact with the select in Protractor:

• Select -> option abstraction
