Unable to select dropdown WebElement with Selenium
Hi all,
I'm currently facing an issue when attempting to select a value from a dropdown in our Pega application using Selenium. It appears to select the correct value, but then immediately reverts to the default and therefore the pop up which is supposed to appear does not.
Has anyone faced this issue before? I'm using the following code to select:
Select updateDropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("DropdownID")));
updateDropdown.selectByValue("Update");

Hi,
Can you try selecting the values in dropdown with inbuilt mouse events/methods of selenium instead.

Hi, I've already attempted to use a click, but the same thing happens. I don't think the issue is with selecting the element, but rather how it behaves after it's selected.

The following is the selenium java script function we used for PRPC dropdown selection.
public void selectByValue(By by, String value) {
WebElement ele = this.findElement(by);
boolean flag = false;
int time = 1;
do {
try {
Select select = new Select(ele);
select.selectByValue(value);
if (!(flag = select.getOptions()
.get(Integer.valueOf(this.findElement(by).getAttribute("selectedIndex"))).getAttribute("value")
.equals(value))) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
flag = select.getOptions().get(Integer.valueOf(this.findElement(by).getAttribute("selectedIndex")))
.getAttribute("value").equals(value);
}
} catch (ElementNotVisibleException e) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
