        driver =  new FirefoxDriver();

        public void register() throws InterruptedException{
        Select s = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='searchDropdownBox']")));
        s.selectByValue("search-alias=alexa-skills");
        }
}

Code Explanation:

I am trying to automate www.amazon.com web page. There is drop down list called "All" in the home page itself. if we click the All dropdown menu there will be different option to choose. Using Selenium automation I am trying to click the drop down and select one of the option.

Select s = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='searchDropdownBox']")));
s.selectByValue("search-alias=alexa-skills");

Error:

FAILED: register
org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: Element <option> could not be scrolled into view

回答1:

To select the option with text as Books from the dropdown you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using cssSelector and selectByVisibleText():

new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("select#searchDropdownBox")))).selectByVisibleText("Books");

Using xpath and selectByValue():

new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//select[@id='searchDropdownBox']")))).selectByValue("search-alias=stripbooks-intl-ship");
