I need to select the last item of a menu not knowing how many items are in a menu.

Is there a command to select the last item in an option menu?

Url to test

My macro code

{
  "Name": "Select",
  "CreationDate": "2020-12-19",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "select",
      "Target": "xpath=//*[@id=\"section-select-with-label\"]/section/div/select",
      "Value": "index=0"
    }
  ]
}

With index=0 i can select the first element but how i can select the last option (you must remember I do not know the number of option in select).

It exist a solution to count the option in select ?

It exist a command to select the last option in select ?

Thanks for suggestion

Do you know the label? If so, you could use: select | xpath | label=

This also jumps to the end of the list: Xtype | ${KEY_PGDN}

I prefer not to use xtype for 3 reasons

  1. xtype requires focus on the screen so I can’t work with multiple browsers at the same time

  2. xtype requires to have xmodules installed and I do not have the possibility to install it in some machines

  3. xtype for free users allows a maximum of 25 commands for every macro/testcase.

For all these reasons I create macros using standard selenium commands that are unlimited and do not require screen focus so I can start multiple browsers that work together.

You can start with a “too high” index and then reduce the index until !statusOK is true. Demo:

{
  "Name": "Select LAST entry",
  "CreationDate": "2020-12-23",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "open",
      "Target": "https://ui.vision/contact",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "fast",
      "Value": "!replayspeed"
    },
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "true",
      "Value": "!errorignore"
    },
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "1",
      "Value": "!TIMEOUT_WAIT"
    },
    {
      "Command": "comment",
      "Target": "i is the MAX. expected number of entries",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "10",
      "Value": "i"
    },
    {
      "Command": "do",
      "Target": "",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "true",
      "Value": "!statusok"
    },
    {
      "Command": "select",
      "Target": "id=WhatSoftware",
      "Value": "index=${i}"
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "return Number (${i}) - 1;",
      "Value": "i"
    },
    {
      "Command": "repeatIf",
      "Target": "${!statusOk} == false",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "Done! Selected LAST index = ${i}",
      "Value": "blue"
    }
  ]
}

Hi Plankton, I have a problem with this site Richiedi subito la valutazione gratuita della tua auto

On this site you can request an evaluation of your car.

As you can see, the menu values change according to the previous selection. How can I go about solving the problem in order to always create different quotes?
