How to select option in drop down protractorjs e2e tests

Question

I am trying to select an option from a drop down for the angular e2e tests using protractor.

Here is the code snippet of the select option:

<select id="locregion" class="create_select ng-pristine ng-invalid ng-invalid-required" required="" ng-disabled="organization.id !== undefined" ng-options="o.id as o.name for o in organizations" ng-model="organization.parent_id">
    <option value="?" selected="selected"></option>
    <option value="0">Ranjans Mobile Testing</option>
    <option value="1">BeaverBox Testing</option>
    <option value="2">BadgerBox</option>
    <option value="3">CritterCase</option>
    <option value="4">BoxLox</option>
    <option value="5">BooBoBum</option>
</select>

I have tried:

ptor.findElement(protractor.By.css('select option:1')).click();

This gives me the following error:

An invalid or illegal string was specified Build info: version: '2.35.0', revision: 'c916b9d', time: '2013-08-12 15:42:01' System info: os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.9', java.version: '1.6.0_65' Driver info: driver.version: unknown

I have also tried:

ptor.findElement(protractor.By.xpath('/html/body/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div/div/div[3]/ng-include/div/div[2]/div/div/organization-form/form/div[2]/select/option[3]')).click();

This gives me the following error:

ElementNotVisibleError: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with Command duration or timeout: 9 milliseconds Build info: version: '2.35.0', revision: 'c916b9d', time: '2013-08-12 15:42:01' System info: os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.9', java.version: '1.6.0_65' Session ID: bdeb8088-d8ad-0f49-aad9-82201c45c63f Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver Capabilities [{platform=MAC, acceptSslCerts=true, javascriptEnabled=true, browserName=firefox, rotatable=false, locationContextEnabled=true, version=24.0, cssSelectorsEnabled=true, databaseEnabled=true, handlesAlerts=true, browserConnectionEnabled=true, nativeEvents=false, webStorageEnabled=true, applicationCacheEnabled=false, takesScreenshot=true}]

Can anyone please help me with this problem or throw some light on what i might be doing wrong here.

For me worked like a charm

element(by.cssContainingText('option', 'BeaverBox Testing')).click();
