In below code using getoptions method in select, I am fetching all the webelements for date drop-down and printing it using for loop



WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
WebElement select_date = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='day']"));
Select dselect = new Select(select_date);

List<WebElement> list_options = dselect.getOptions();
System.out.println(list_options.size());

for (int i=0;i<list_options.size();i++)
System.out.println(list_options.get(i));



Size of list_options(WebElement) is 32.



If we observe it has printed the same address 32 times

List of dates



Question
Even though size of list_options(WebElement) is 32. Why it printed the same address 32 times?



Why it didn't print 32 unique address.

      List of dates



      Question
      Even though size of list_options(WebElement) is 32. Why it printed the same address 32 times?



      Why it didn't print 32 unique address.

          It prints the same 32 times because that is the UUID of the FirefoxDriver sessionID not the WebElement. See https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/37088bb0979bc6e5b6f03b66eb023d6af1c400ac/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/remote/RemoteWebDriver.java#L994



          If you want the unique ID of the WebElement, you'll have to call getId() on it
