You can select values from drop down using select in selenium web driver. senkeys not working for dropdown.

First you need to identify the drop down using select.You can select/deselect drop down value by using this.

SelectByVisibleText()/deselectByVisibleText() : selects/deselects an option by its displayed text

selectByValue()/ deselectByValue() : selects/deselects an option by the value of its "value" attribute

selectByIndex()/ deselectByIndex() : selects/deselects an option by its index

Select drpCountry = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("body_txtCategory")));
drpCountry.selectByVisibleText("Poultry");

@FindBy(id = "body_txtPool")@CacheLookup Select Pool; public void Pool(String SelectPool) { Pool.selectByValue(SelectPool); } doesn't seem to work on this – John Cedrick Becher Cing Apr 20 '19 at 08:06
