Using XPath with Selenium-Java code

0 votes

Below is the HTML code I am testing and I have to click on the option having text "Auto". 

<select name="category" id="category">
    <option value="0">&laquo;Seleziona la categoria&raquo;</option>
    <option value='1' style='background-color:#ddd' disabled="disabled" id='cat1' >-- VEICOLI --</option>
    <option value='2'  id='cat2' >Auto</option>
</select>

I've tried all the possible codes below.

d.findElement(By.xpath("/select[@id=category]/option[@id=cat2]")).click();

d.findElement(By.xpath("/select[@id=category]/option[text()='Auto']")).click();

d.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id=category]/option[Auto]")).click();

But still I get no such element exception when tries with all these XPaths.

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/select[@id=category]/option[@id=cat2]"}

Which of these is the correct syntax? can someone help me? Help plz!

There is a minor syntax error in each of your XPaths statements. Your missing to include quotes. Below is the correct syntax.

d.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='category']/option[@id='cat2']")).click();
