The class Selenium Select has 3 methods of different option selection:
- selectByIndex
- selectByValue
- selectByVisibleText
Now, I have a situation where I want to select an option by some text that partially appear in one of the options visible text (don’t want to expose myself to changes in the WHOLE text).
For example:
JavaScript
x
<option value="0" label="not-intresting">VERY-LONG-TEXT-THAT-I-NEED-TO-SELECT-DOLLAR</option>
And i want to select this option only by providing the “DOLLAR”, something like:
JavaScript
select.selectByPartOfVisibleText("DOLLAR")
How would you implement it effectively?

Answer
You can try a logic like this hope this helps
JavaScript
List <WebElements> optionsInnerText= driver.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
for(WebElement text: optionsInnerText){
String textContent = text.getAttribute("textContent");
if(textContent.toLowerCase.contains(expectedText.toLowerCase))
select.selectByPartOfVisibleText(expectedText);
}
}
