Getting a visible list by name

Next, we will try to find a list element based on the text:

If (lelements.length > 0 and elementType === "list"{
elements = await browser.$$(`//select[@id='${element}'] `)
    }
If no Select element matches that we take a second chance by searching for by the name attribute.
If (elements.length === 0 and elementType === "list"{
elements = await browser.$$(`//select[@name='${element}'] `)
    }
///

If no Select element matches either of these, then we take a final shot by searching for a combo box relative to a label:

If (elements.length === 0 and elementType === "list"{
listElements = await browser.$$(`//label[contains(@for,'#{element}')]/following::select`)
    }

We are not done quite yet. The collection of elements returned must be filtered for visibility.
