How can I perform multiple selection of options in a dropdown using Select class in Selenium?

Answer 1

Hey Priyansh, you can select multiple options from a dropdown using Select class. Selenium provides Select class to perform various operations on a dropdown. Below code automate selection of multiple options with the help of Select class:

public class MultiSelectDropdown {

    WebDriver driver;

    @Test

    public void testApp() {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",  "D:\SeleniumDrivers\chromedriver.exe");

        driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select_multiple");

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        WebElement selectList = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@name='cars']"));

        Select select = new Select(selectList);

        select.selectByVisibleText("Volvo");

        select.selectByVisibleText("Saab");

    }

}
