selectOptionByValue is not working for drop down

My code is not working for a drop down value.
WebUI.selectOptionByValue(findTestObject(‘Migration REQ Creation/Page_SID detail (1)/select_-- None --ISM Code Migr’), ‘ISM Code Migration Request’,

true)

This value “ISM Code Migration Request” exists in the drop down field. same code is working for other field though with different object name and value.

I am getting this message

It would help if I could see some of the HTML you are using.

The error is quite clear: that element as specified by your TestObject, is not present on the page.

Check:

Spelling (watch for UPPERCASE and lowercase errors)
Spaces
Is the element VISIBLE at the time the test step is executing?
Are you sure it’s a SELECT element with OPTION elements inside it? If not, you’re using the wrong WebUI API.

Is your object inside iframe? (iframe_gsft_main)
If it is, check if your iframe is dynamic and it’s id is changing every time you open it.
That means your xpath is not valid and you need to adapt/change it

Hi crokatalontest,
thank you so much. you are correct. It worked by changing the correct iframe path :slight_smile:
