@heandping - Idk why but could you see if value=30 works better than label=30?

[heandping]

@toddtarsi , Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to use value instead of label

[heandping]

Yes, select locator value=30 can work now, just curious why label fails, anyway this doesn't block me.

[toddtarsi]

@heandping - To give you some idea, first we use a selector to get the element reference. From there, each option strategy does something different to get the child locator. For label, which I've struggled with, we have to use xpath. This is my xpath to go from the select to the option:

".//option[. = '30']"

It's supposed to go like one child down and check for a text match? I suck at xpath, but I bet I need some crud like this on the . part in the bracket.

".//option[normalize-space(translate(., '${nbsp}', ' ')) = '30']" 

[toddtarsi]

Yeah, circling back on this. I bet it's that space before and after 10, 30, 50, and 100. I think I'll just make a test for this permutation. Should be easily fixed in core.
