Chosen test using selenium web driver in Python

test.py

from selenium import webdriver


def select_from_chosen(driver, id, value):
    chosen = driver.find_element_by_id(id + '_chzn')
    results = chosen.find_elements_by_css_selector(".chzn-results li")

    found = False
    for result in results:
        if result.text == value:
            found = True
            break

    if found:
        chosen.find_element_by_css_selector("a").click()
        result.click()
    return found


def select_from_multi_chosen(driver, id, values):
    chosen = driver.find_element_by_id(id + '_chzn')
    results = chosen.find_elements_by_css_selector(".chzn-results li")

    for value in values:
        found = False
        for result in results:
            if result.text == value:
                found = True
                break
        if found:
            chosen.find_element_by_css_selector("input").click()
            result.click()



# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# go to the google home page
driver.get("http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/")

#on the demo page, ids are always changing
chosen_selects = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".chzn-select")

select = chosen_selects[0]
select_id = select.get_attribute("id")
select_from_chosen(driver, select_id, "France")


select = chosen_selects[1]
select_id = select.get_attribute("id")
select_from_multi_chosen(driver, select_id, ["India", "France"])



driver.quit()

this is awesome, thank you.

Thanks for sharing, really helpfull

Useful. Thanks!
Just an observation, though: Chozens often go crazy and select the previous element instead of the desired one.

I did this. Seems more like what the user would do.

def chozen_select(self, element_id, value):
    """
    Select a single value from a chozen drop down.

    :param element_id: The element id to grab.
    :type element_id: str
    :param value: The value of the option that is displayed.
    :type value: str
    """
    self.chozen_muliselect(element_id, [value])

def chozen_muliselect(self, element_id, values):
    """Helper for chozen multiselects.

    :param element_id: The id of the chozen element.
    :type element_id: str
    :param values: An iterable of values to set or the atom to set.
    :type values: list, tuple
    """
    if not element_id.endswith('_chzn'):
        element_id += '_chzn'

    chozen = cls.browser.find_element_by_id(element_id)
    chozen.click()
    search = chozen.find_element_by_css_selector('div.chzn-search > input')
    for value in values:
        search.send_keys(value)
        search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

please send me script in java to sselect element from chosen dropdown

Note that in more recent versions of ChosenJS, the class and id names have chosen instead of chzn.
