Selecting an item from dropdown list using Selenium WebDriver java

Question

How can I select an item from the drop-down list like Blood Group (A+, AB, O etc..) using Selenium WebDriver and Java.

Below is my code:

WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("blood-group"));
List<WebElement> options = dropdown.findElements(By.tagName("AB"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
    if("AB".equals(option.getText()))
        option.click();   
}

This is not working for me

Answer 1

Use the below code:

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("blood-group"))).selectByVisibleText("AB");

You also need to import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
