Posted on by Maarten Hamburg

Hello guys,

I'm looking into automated testing with Selenium. All is fine while testing except selecting values in a dropdown list. When i try to select a value, the message information: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with, is shown. Does someone know how to select a value?

I'm using :

new SelectElement(driver.FindElement(By.Id("my_selection_i"))).SelectByText("Yes");
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("option[title=\"Yes\"]")).Click();

Tnx

In CRM option set is not use as dropdown control. (they are using DIV & Selection OptionSet)

So if you try to access direct element then it would not work.

Kindly follow below screen shot

Before selecting option set there is not select control exist. (Find screen shot below)

After selected attribute (Customer Rating - Option Set) select (dropdown) control exist

So, You need to find some solution to click on that control (attribute customer rating in above example) so option set get generated. After that below your line will work.

new SelectElement(driver.FindElement(By.Id("my_selection_i"))).SelectByText("Yes");
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("option[title=\"Yes\"]")).Click();

I wish my finding will guide you to correct path, if it works please mark this answer as suggested answer.

Thanks in Advance!
