Selecting options from Auto Complete Dropdown using selenium web driver in python

I have to select options from a drop down on a page. I tried the below code but it is showing a syntax error. Can somebody help me with this?

web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
Select sel = new Select(x)
sel.select_by_value("Iphone")

I tries Web_element, WebElement too. But this is showing syntax error for the very first line.

web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
            ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  • You can use the following code block to select the option Apple iPhone 6 128GB from the suggestions:

    from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path= r"C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get('https://tradein.vodafone.co.uk/#/topmodel')
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='txtSearchPhone']").send_keys("Apple iPhone 6 128GB")
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//li[@class='ui-menu-item']/a[contains(@id, 'ui-id-')][text()='Apple iPhone 6 128GB']")))
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//li[@class='ui-menu-item']/a[contains(@id, 'ui-id-')][text()='Apple iPhone 6 128GB']").click()
