Not able to select option from div type listbox in selenium C#

Question

Here the id=popupY8cuUiMiDU is dynamic.I need to get the Y value from span but there are multiple listbox with the same span attribute taking Y option. How can I select from listbox as there is no unique attribute?

Answer 1

There're a few options.

1. getting the element by what's not dynamic in its id

   //div[contains(@id, "popup")]

2. using CSS

   .ui-dropdown-panel.ui-widget-content.ui-corner-all.ui.shadow

3. asking developers to build in a unique test id for you

   e.g. there could be something like data-test-id=popup, then you'd use a css selector like so: [data-test-id=popup]

There could be more options, you can get more creative etc. But I'd keep it as simple as possible, which promotes maintainability and readability.
