It is not possible to select a select option

Question

I'm trying to select a value from my select field:

<select class="form-control select required chosen-select" name="shopping_cart[kind]" id="shopping_cart_kind" style="display: none;"> 
     <option value="">Selecione</option>
     <option value="pdc">PDC</option>
     <option value="normal">Cotação Normal</option>
     <option value="emergency">Cotação Emergencial</option>
     <option value="contract">Cotação para Contrato</option>
     <option value="price_research">Pesquisa de Preço</option>
     <option value="legal_purchase">Compra Judicial</option>
     <option value="bidding_exemption">Dispensa de Licitação</option>
     <option value="scheduled_delivery">Cotação para entrega programada</option></select>

In my code I'm trying to set the second option:

@type = @browser.select_list(id: "shopping_cart_kind")
@type.select 'PDC'

And I have received this error:

timed out after 30 seconds, waiting for {:id=>"shopping_cart_kind", :tag_name=>"select"} to become present (Watir::Wait::TimeoutError)

I've tried the following alternatives and they did not work:

• Click element via javascript:

  @browser.execute_script( "return arguments[0].click();", browser.link(:id => 'shopping_cart_kind')

• Select by index:

  @browser.select_list(id: "shopping_cart_kind", index: 1).select ("PDC") @browser.select_list(id: "shopping_cart_kind").option[1].select

Nothing worked!

Can you please try this code and let me know whether it works?

@type = @browser.select_list(id: "shopping_cart_kind")
@type.option(text: 'PDC').select
