Examples

Asynchronous Mode

example.html

<select id="selectbox">
    <option value="someValue0">uno</option>
    <option value="someValue1">dos</option>
    <option value="someValue2">tres</option>
    <option value="someValue3">cuatro</option>
    <option value="someValue4">cinco</option>
    <option value="someValue5">seis</option>
</select>

selectByIndex.js

it('Should demonstrate the selectByIndex command', async () => {
    const selectBox = await $('#selectbox');
    console.log(await selectBox.getValue()); // returns "someValue0"
    await selectBox.selectByIndex(4);
    console.log(await selectBox.getValue()); // returns "someValue4"
});

Synchronous Mode

example.html

<select id="selectbox">
    <option value="someValue0">uno</option>
    <option value="someValue1">dos</option>
    <option value="someValue2">tres</option>
    <option value="someValue3">cuatro</option>
    <option value="someValue4">cinco</option>
    <option value="someValue5">seis</option>
</select>

selectByIndex.js

it('Should demonstrate the selectByIndex command', () => {
    const selectBox = $('#selectbox');
    console.log(selectBox.getValue()); // returns "someValue0"
    selectBox.selectByIndex(4);
    console.log(selectBox.getValue()); // returns "someValue4"
});

caution

Synchronous Mode will depcrecated with Node.js v16. With an update to the underlying Chromium version it became technically impossible to provide the same synchronous behavior. We recommend to start transition to asynchronous command execution. For more information, see our RFC.
