/value on /dropdown's select element returns empty - but only in Firefox

[andrew-fowler]

Hi there,

I'm trialling webdriverio against the site, and on the dropdown page when I call getValue() on the element (after selecting the first option), I'm getting empty returned - but only on Firefox. On Chrome and IE it works as expected. I thought it might be a race condition, but a 1sec pause doesn't change the result.

API call:

COMMAND
GET element/0/attribute/value

PARAMETERS
{}

RESPONSE
=>

Test: https://github.com/andrew-fowler/webdriverio-theinternet/blob/master/test/specs/dropdown/dropdown.spec.js#L12

Example Sauce run: https://saucelabs.com/beta/tests/4e608f911d2c4817870135ad76e7b109

I was assuming that I was doing something wrong, but I'm struggling to see it.

Thanks,
Andrew

I cloned your repo and ran the tests. This appears to be working (see my recent job here). Not sure what would have caused it on my end since it is a vanilla dropdown form using standard HTML markup (no JS).
