[FIXED] Error by getting selected option using Selenium Web Driver with Python

Issue

In order to output my already selected option I coded:

Select(driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,'path_to_select/select/option'))
selected_option = select.first_selected_option
print(selected_option)

Error Message:

raise UnexpectedTagNameException( selenium.common.exceptions.UnexpectedTagNameException: Message: Select only works on elements, not on

Solution

Because you are selecting a list of elements. So you can use driver.find_element() instead of driver.find_elements() to select a single element.

select = Select(driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'path_to_select/select/option'))
selected_option = select.first_selected_option
print(selected_option)
