How to use 'Invoke Javascript Function' to fire

sumire · ‎28-05-21

Hello,

There is a web page that fires an event when user select the pull-down menu(combo box).

e.q.

<body>
<select>
    <option>apple</option>
    <option>orange</option>
    <option>banana</option>
</select>
 
<script>
    $('select').change(function() {
        var text = $('option:selected').text();
    
        console.log( text );
    });
</script>
</body>

If I select this pull-down menu with "Select Item" , the event doesn't fire.
So I thought that I could fire the event by using the "Invoke JavaScript Function", but I don't know how to use.
Can someone please tell me how to use "Invoke JavaScript Function"?
Or is there other more appropriate technique?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I hope you are well, then you can use the dynamic element and force the click.

I usually only use JS in extreme cases, I think the support team may have problems.

Try to map the first element and place it as dynamic, if you have to select other options, you can do this by XPATH or even by value

Hi Mitsuko,

Try spy the element using UIA mode. It seems to work in my instance.
