Answer 1

Once you select the option through selectByVisibleText() method to print the value you need to invoke getFirstSelectedOption() method as follows:

• Code Block:

  Select month_dd = new Select(month_dropdown);
  month_dd.selectByVisibleText("Dec");
  WebElement myElem = month_dd.getFirstSelectedOption();
  System.out.println(myElem.getText());
  

• Console Output:

  Dec
  PASSED: selectDDvalues

Once you have selected the option by visible text, you can get the option as a WebElement and getText() from it.

Example:

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("some-id")));
select.selectByVisibleText("some-text");
WebElement element = select.getFirstSelectedOption();
System.out.println(element.getText());
