How to display the count of dropdown items using selenium and python? - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to get all elements within a drop down and print the total count. Here's the code, which I have written for this.
import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
class dropdown(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.driver=webdriver.Chrome()
def test_selectmethod(self):
driver=self.driver
driver.get("http://magento-demo.lexiconn.com/")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='select-language']").click()
dropdown=Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='select-language']"))
print str(len(dropdown)+ "products found"
for i in dropdown:
print(i.text)
def tearDown(self):
self.driver.close()
However, this throws error while printing str(len(dropdown).

Answer 1

Try str(len(dropdown.options)).

Answer 2

To display the count of dropdown items using selenium python you don't even have to identify the <select> tag and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://magento-demo.lexiconn.com/")
count = len(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//select[#id='select-language']//option"))))
print(str(count) + " items found." )
Console Output:
3 items found.
But if you want to print the <options> within the <select> tag you have to identify the <select> tag and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://magento-demo.lexiconn.com/")
count = len(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//select[#id='select-language']//option"))))
print(str(count) + " items found." )
dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='select-language']"))
print("Items are: " )
for i in dropdown.options:
print(i.get_attribute('innerHTML'))
Console Output:
3 items found.
Items are:
English
French
German
