If you are looking for a way to handle Dynamic dropdown in a Generic way then Selenium is the perfect tool for you. With Selenium you can easily identify and select elements on the page without having to hard code any locators. This makes it easy to create a script that can be used on any page with a similar structure.
To handle Dynamic dropdown in Selenium we need to use the By.xpath() method. This method takes a locator as an argument and returns an element matching the locator. The locator can be an id, class name, tag name or any other valid XPath expression.
In our example we will use the id attribute of the element to locate it. The id attribute is unique to each element so it is perfect for use in this case. We will also add a little bit of code to handle if the element is not found on the page.
The first thing we need to do is find the element on the page that we want to select. In our example we want to select an element from a dropdown list so we need to find the
We can now use the By.xpath() method with our locator ‘//*[@id=“element-id”]’ to find our element on the page.
If you are having trouble finding your element then you can try using one of the other methods available such as By.className() or By.cssSelector().
Once we have found our element we can now interact with it using one of Selenium’s WebElement methods such as .click() or .sendKeys(). In our example we want to select an option from our dropdown list so we will use the .click() method.
We can now see that our option has been selected from the dropdown list and our script has executed successfully!
