Selenium Select - Selecting dropdown option by part of the text

Question

The class Selenium Select has 3 methods of different option selection:

1. selectByIndex
2. selectByValue
3. selectByVisibleText

Now,

Answer 1

This will work

WebElement element = driver.findEle(By.xpath(loc));
            Select select = new Select(element);
            for(int i=1;i<=select.getOptions().size();i++)
            {
                if(select.getOptions().get(i-1).getText().contains(containsTxt))
                {
                    select.selectByIndex(i-1);
                    break;
                }
                if(i==select.getOptions().size())
                {   
                    //"Fail"
                }
            }

Answer 2

Using Java 8 Stream/Lambda:

protected void selectOptionByPartText(WebElement elementAttr, String partialText) {
        Select select = new Select(elementAttr);
        select.getOptions().parallelStream().filter(option -> option.getAttribute("textContent").toLowerCase().contains(partialText.toLowerCase()))
                .findFirst().ifPresent(option -> select.selectByVisibleText(option.getAttribute("textContent")));
    }

Answer 3

This is what I used to solve the issue in python.

I used this option, so it selects the text that uses the word DOLLAR instead of typing the whole word as the value.

Select(driver.find_element_by_name(ELEMENT)).select_by_value("DOLLAR")

instead of

Select(driver.find_element_by_name(ELEMENT)).select_by_visible_text(text)

Answer 4

Eventually I combined the answers here and that's the result:

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//whatever")));

public void selectByPartOfVisibleText(String value) {
    List<WebElement> optionElements = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("SELECT-SELECTOR")).findElements(By.tagName("option"));

    for (WebElement optionElement: optionElements) {
        if (optionElement.getText().contains(value)) {
            String optionIndex = optionElement.getAttribute("index");
            select.selectByIndex(Integer.parseInt(optionIndex));
            break;
        }
    }

    Thread.sleep(300);
}

And in Scala (need it eventually in Scala) it looks like:

  def selectByPartOfVisibleText(value: String) = {
    val optionElements: util.List[WebElement] = selectElement.findElements(By.tagName("option"))

    breakable {
      optionElements.foreach { elm =>
        if (elm.getText.contains(value)) {
          val optionIndex = elm.getAttribute("index")
          selectByIndex(optionIndex.toInt)
          break
        }
      }
    }
    Thread.sleep(300)
  }

Answer 5

Get a list of all the option values and then check if the value contains your partial text. Something like this:

List<WebElement> list = driver.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
Iterator<WebElement> i = list.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
    WebElement wel = i.next();    
    if(wel.getText().contains("your partial text"))
    {
       //select this option
    }
} 

Answer 6

You can try a logic like this hope this helps

List <WebElements> optionsInnerText= driver.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
for(WebElement text: optionsInnerText){
    String textContent = text.getAttribute("textContent");
    if(textContent.toLowerCase.contains(expectedText.toLowerCase))
           select.selectByPartOfVisibleText(expectedText);
    }
}
