i've tried different ways to solve this problem. Here's the current code:

private static List<String> getDrillOptionAfter(WebDriver driver, String from) {
        List<WebElement> menus = getDrillOptionElms(driver, from);
        List<String> drillOptions = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < menus.size(); i++) {
            boolean staleElement = true;
            while(staleElement) {
                try {
                    drillOptions.add(menus.get(i).getText());
                    staleElement = false;
                } catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {
                    drillOptions.add(menus.get(i).getText());
                    staleElement =true;
                }
            }
            }
        return drillOptions;
    }

The code tries to get the text of dropdown options. Also, in debug mode code works perfectly sometimes.

Success Shrestha

Does the `getDrillOptionElms` returning all the menu option elements successfully? – supputuri Jul 17 '19 at 06:10
@supputuri Yes! it does. – Success Shrestha Jul 17 '19 at 06:12
Not related to staleElement but , `List drillOptions = new ArrayList<>();` should this be `List drillOptions = new ArrayList();` – supputuri Jul 17 '19 at 06:15
`menus.get(i)` is this returning the element or the exception? Have you tried with `menus.get(i).get_attribute('textContent')`? – supputuri Jul 17 '19 at 06:17
Please share code of `getDrillOptionElms` method. – Yevgen Jul 17 '19 at 06:29
