Unable to click on a dropdown image of a IBM BPM listbox

I am working on a IBM BPM portal which has the following drop down arrow next to a list box, requires a click to display list items in the DOM structure.

<div class="dijitReset dijitRight dijitButtonNode dijitArrowButton dijitDownArrowButton dijitArrowButtonContainer dijitDownArrowButtonHover" role="presentation" data-dojo-attach-point="_buttonNode, _popupStateNode">
<input class="dijitReset dijitInputField dijitArrowButtonInner" type="image" role="presentation" readonly="readonly" tabindex="-1" alt="" src="/teamworks/script/coachNG/dojo/1.8.6/dojo/resources/blank.gif"/>

Image: enter image description here

After clicking on the Image manually, following list items appears.

<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup_prev" class="dijitMenuItem dijitMenuPreviousButton" role="option" data-dojo-attach-point="previousButton" style="display: none;">Previous choices</div>
<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup0" class="dijitReset dijitMenuItem" role="option" item="0">--- Select ---</div>
<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup1" class="dijitReset dijitMenuItem" role="option" item="1">CJA Coversheet</div>
<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup2" class="dijitReset dijitMenuItem" role="option" item="2">Correspondence</div>
<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup3" class="dijitReset dijitMenuItem" role="option" item="3">Proof of Address</div>
<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup4" class="dijitReset dijitMenuItem" role="option" item="4">Proof of Identity</div>
<div id="dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1_popup_next" class="dijitMenuItem dijitMenuNextButton" role="option" data-dojo-attach-point="nextButton" style="display: none;">More choices</div>

I have tried following options to click on the image next to dropdown.

Code1: int xOffset = 0, yOffset = 0; Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement TreeObj=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='widget_dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1']/descendant::input[@type='image']")); actions.moveToElement(TreeObj, xOffset, yOffset);
actions.moveToElement(TreeObj).click().build().perform();

Code2: driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='widget_dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1']/descendant::input[@type='image']")).click();

Code3:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[@type='image'])2")).click();

Request others to investigate and help me clicking on the objects to select items from the listbox.

Finally I could figure out a solution to perform actions on a BPM listbox. Thanks Kishan for spending some time,your suggestion might be useful for other web objects but not for BPM list boxes.

String parameter = "--- Select ---;CJA Coversheet;Correspondence;Proof of Address;Proof of Identity"; 
           String[] splitparameter= parameter.split(";");	
           
           WebElement fr = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[@dojoattachpoint='frame']"));
           driver.switchTo().frame(fr);
           
           //driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[@type='image'])[1]")).click();
           Thread.sleep(2000);
           
           driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='dijit_form_FilteringSelect_0']")).clear();
           driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='dijit_form_FilteringSelect_0']")).sendKeys("CJA");
           
           driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='widget_dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1']/descendant::input[@type='image']")).click();         
           driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1']")).clear();      
                              
           WebElement TreeObj=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='widget_dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1']/descendant::input[@type='image']"));
		   //..................................................................................................................		   
		   int xOffset = 2, yOffset = 2;
		   Actions actions = new Actions(driver);	   
			actions.moveToElement(TreeObj, xOffset, yOffset).click().build().perform();
		   Thread.sleep(2000);
		   List<WebElement> allListOptions = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[contains(@id,'FilteringSelect_1')]/descendant::div[contains(@id,'FilteringSelect') and @role='option' and @item>='0']"));

 //allListOptions.get(0).getText()
		for (int i = 0; i < splitparameter.length; i++) {		    
			String optionValue = allListOptions.get(i).getText();
		    if (optionValue.equals(splitparameter[i])) {				        
		        
		    	System.out.println("Value verified with the expected value: "+ optionValue);
		    } else {				        
		        
		    	System.out.println("Failed to verify value with the expected value: "+ optionValue);
		    }
		 }

Drop down cannot be handled using normal action class or click method. We need to use Select Class for it.

So just try out this..

Webelement someobject = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='widget_dijit_form_FilteringSelect_1']/descendant::input[@type='image']"));

Select select = new Select(someobject);

someobject.selectByVisibleText("CJA Coversheet");

There are other methods also to select values from drop down, I am showing you visible text method.. Just try to run this. Hope it will help you..

Do go through this link. It is very helpful..

Do reply whether it ran or not. Happy Learning :-)
