the from option select takes either id, name, placeholder, or text of associated label element of select element. "data-reactid" none of those. given html have put in comments (please edit question , add there) do

select("01")  # assumes there no other select boxes option on page 

or do

find('select[data-reactid=".0.0.1.1.2.1.$0.0.2.0.1"]').select("01") 

which short for

find('select[data-reactid=".0.0.1.1.2.1.$0.0.2.0.1"]').find(:option, "01").select_option 

note: within '#.0.0.1.1.2.1.$0.0.2.0.1' isn't going since within takes css selector , none of elements have id '#.0.0.1.1.2.1.$0.0.2.0.1' ( data-reactid not id ) . on top of selector written invalid , need within '#\.0\.0\.1\.1\.2\.1\.\$0\.0\.2\.0\.1' if element id existed
