What you will Learn in this blog:
Select multiple options in drodpwn list
Select multiple options in drodpwn list (label option)
Select multiple options in drodpwn list (index, value option)
Code snippet
Select multiple options in drodpwn list
Launch https://selenium08.blogspot.com/2019/11/dropdown.html
Notice that we can select mutiple options from the list
Let us see how to do that using playwright python.
Let us inspect the dropdown, notice that it is represented by ‘select’ tag and has the unique name ‘Month’
If you read the ‘select_option’ method documentation, it mentions the syntax usage to select multiple options
So we can write like below
Save and execute
Notice that multiple months get selected
Select multiple options in drodpwn list (label option)
Let us now see how to use ‘label’ to select an option
The usage is as shown below
Save and execute.
Notice that multiple months get selected including ‘March’
Select multiple options in drodpwn list (index, value option)
Let us now see how to use ‘index’ and ‘value’ to select an option
Save and execute.
Notice that multiple months get selected (index=2 represents 2nd month)
So this is how we can work with multi select dropdown lists.
Code snippet (multi select)
import time
from playwright.sync_api import Playwright, sync_playwright, expect
def run(playwright: Playwright) -> None:
browser = playwright.chromium.launch(headless=False, slow_mo=3000)
context = browser.new_context()
page = context.new_page()
page.goto("https://selenium08.blogspot.com/2019/11/dropdown.html")
#page.locator("select[name='Month']").select_option(['Sept', 'May', 'July'])
#page.locator("select[name='Month']").select_option(['Sept', 'May'], label='March')
page.locator("select[name='Month']").select_option(index=2, value='May', label='October')
# ---------------------
context.close()
browser.close()
with sync_playwright() as playwright:
run(playwright)
