selenium - Automate drop down using Page factory model -


i using page factory model in project, thus:

public class loginsingup {   webdriver driver;   public loginsingup(webdriver driver) {     this.driver = driver; pagefactory.initelements(driver, this);   }    @findby(id="firstname") webelement fname; } 

how can identify drop down value in page factory. know way :

select country = new select(driver.findelement(by.id("selectedcountryid")));     country.selectbyvisibletext("united states"); 

but how in page factory. have created separate object repository package pages , created package test cases.

i have saved java classes in object repository. element drop down have write in java class , how can access in test cases.

add simple wrapper accessor around webelement accessor, this:

@findby(id="selectedcountryid") webelement countrydropdown;  public select getcountryselect() {   return new select(countrydropdown); } 

you can add helpful mutators too, (i've invented country class: might prefer pass ids around, or else):

public void setcountry(country country) {   getcountryselect().selectbyvalue(country.getid()); }
