How to select any random value from a dropdown?

Question

I am working on selenium using Java. In my application I want to select any random value from the dropdown. Please tell how is it possible?

Answer 1

First generate a random number between 0 and the number of items in your list. For example:

int random = new Random().nextInt(5);

Then use this random number as the index in your select call:

select("mydropdown", "index=" + random);
