Locating Selenium xpath elements (FindElements) from a dropdown xpath

I am trying to use driver.FindElemnts on a dropdown list to facilitate me to count elements in a dropdown. Somehow can't get the XPath working for below piece of html - 

<select class="form-control form-control-lg ng-valid ng-dirty ng-touched" 
id="sel-customer-name" name="sel-customer">
<!---->
<option value="1: Object"> Kerry Mitchell </option>
<option value="2: Object"> David Brown </option>
<option value="3: Object"> Aaron Chai </option>
</select>

I used this, but seems to be wrong --

var elementsDropdown = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='sel-customer- 
name']/option[i]"));

any help is appreciated, thanks..!!

Solution

  • You chose the wrong attribute value: sel-adviser-type instead of sel-customer-name.
    So try this XPath:

    //*[@id='sel-customer-name']/option

    Or, in a full expression

    var elementsDropdown = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='sel-customer-name']/option"));

    Both will select you the three elements option.
