Hello everyone!

I am trying to select an option by the label in a selector but when I run the test it selects it and loads the page of a form that I need to fill out but it does not continue with the test throwing the following ERROR.

=============== ROOT CAUSE =====================

When you paste code within this forum, you should put 3 backticks above and below your code, like ```. The backtick is found on the same key as the tilde ~.

This may not fix your “staleElement” error, but you have the boolean set to true, but you do not have any Regular Expression within your selection. Set the boolean to false unless you need RegEx. That way, you can be in control of the select comparison and not get any unexpected surprises.

WebUI.selectOptionByValue(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Personalizacin del Curso/select_0 1 2 _81e00f_1'), '1', false)

Also, for your “staleElement”, perhaps you can try:

WebUI.selectOptionByValue(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Personalizacin del Curso/select_Seleccione . Zoom'), '1', false)

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Personalizacin del Curso/select_0 1 2 _81e00f'), 10)
WebUI.selectOptionByValue(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Personalizacin del Curso/select_0 1 2 _81e00f'), '1', false)
