Selenium selecting a dropdown option with for loop from dictionary

Question

I have a form with inputs and dropdown lists: ``` [...] [...] ``` I pass the values to Selenium as Dictionary: ``` dict = {'user':'Test User 1', [...]} ``` And I use a for loop to do this: ``` for key in dict.keys(): inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name(key) inputElement.clear() inputElement.send_keys(dict[key]) ``` It works with all inputs but with the dropdown menu it doesn't work. But it works when I do it without a loop. For example: ``` inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name('user') inputElement.clear() inputElement.send_keys(dict['user']) ``` or ``` inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name('user') inputElement.clear() inputElement.send_keys('Test User 1') ```

Accepted Answer

```
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id("dropdown_menu"))
select.select_by_visible_text("Test User 1")
```
