Select Multiple options in the dropdown using selenium with java

Select Multiple Items in the dropdown:

    When the dropdown is developed by using the <select> tag, then we can use the select class methods to automate single or multi-select dropdowns.

    In selenium, there is no specific method to Select multiple items in the dropdown. By using keyboard actions we can select multiple options in dropdown.

Example:

class Example

{

    public static void main(String args[])

    {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver" , "./chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://");

        

        WebElement mDropdown = driver.findElement(By.name("1234")); 

        Select s = new Select(mDropdown);

        Actions a = new Actions(driver);

        a.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL)

            .click(s.getOptions().get(2))

            .click(s.getOptions().get(3))

            .click(s.getOptions().get(4))

            .keyUp(Keys.CONTROL)

            .build().perform();

    }

}

isMultiple():

    We can use this method to ensure whether the specified dropdown is a multi-select dropdown or not. This method returns True when the corresponding dropdown is multi-select.

Example:

WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.id("tcg"));

Select s = new Select(ele);

if(s.isMultiple())  {

    System.out.println("The Dropdown is Multi-Select");

}

else  {

    System.out.println("The Dropdown is not Multi-Select")

}
