"SELECT" Command

Description: This command selects a value from a drop-down list defined by a locator or inline XPath using an index, value, etc.
Usage Scenario: Suppose we want to create a new community and select the type of the community to be “OPEN”.

Procedure: Define your locator or use inline XPath for the drop-down list where the HTML Tag is

<select class="form-control ng-pristine ng-valid ng-empty ng-touched" ng-model="ctrl.community.type" style=""><option value="? undefined:undefined ?"></option>
                <option value="OPEN">OPEN</option>
                <option value="CLOSED">CLOSED</option>
            </select>

and the XPath is

//label[contains(@for, 'type')]/ancestor::div/descendant::select

and select “By_Value” as the type. Then enter the Value “OPEN”. Your step will look like this:
