Selenium Select - Selecting dropdown option by part of the text

Question

The class Selenium Select has 3 methods of different option selection:

1. selectByIndex
2. selectByValue
3. selectByVisibleText

Now,

Answer 1

My solution is to use xpath to find options that are children of the select. Any xpath method can be used to find the select; in this example I am finding the select by id.

List options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//select[@id = 'selectId')]/option"));

for (WebElement option : options) {
    if (option.getText().contains("DOLLAR")) {
        option.click();
        break;
    }
}

After a little more thought I realize the option can be found entirely with xpath:

driver.findElements(By.xpath("//select[@id = 'selectId')]/option[contains(text(), 'DOLLAR')]")).click();
