i facing issues drop down selections.i've tried following it's not working

    new select(driver.findelement(by.xpath("(//select[@name='years'])[3]"))).selectbyvis‌​ibletext("mai"); 

please me

try this:

    webelement webelement = driver             .findelement(by                     .xpath("//select[@class='special-valid ng-pristine ng-valid ng-scope ng-touched']"));      select select = new select(webelement);     select.selectbyvisibletext("monat"); 

you can use ,

    select.selectbyindex(1); 

instead of

    select.selectbyvisibletext();
