selenium code to select radio button - selenium

Question

Am doing automation tesing using selenium, i need help in regarding how to select radio button.If possible help me with selenium java code.

Answer 1

Assuming you have selenium set up its just:
selenium.click('radio button locator');
You may want to look at the selenium javadoc http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-remote-control/0.9.2/doc/java/com/thoughtworks/selenium/Selenium.html

Answer 2

click > xpath=(//input[#type='checkbox'])[position()=1]
click > xpath=(//input[#type='checkbox'])[position()=2]
click > xpath=(//input[#type='checkbox'])[position()=3]
click > xpath=(//input[#type='checkbox'])[position()=4]
etc ...
use this commands to select random and any radio button

Answer 3

public class radioExamJavaScr {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
EventFiringWebDriver dr = new EventFiringWebDriver(driver);
dr.get("http://www.makemytrip.com/");
dr.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
((JavascriptExecutor)dr).executeScript("document.getElementById('roundtrip_r').click();");
WebElement one_way = (WebElement)((JavascriptExecutor)dr).executeScript("return document.getElementById('oneway_r') ;");
System.out.println(one_way.isSelected());
WebElement round_trip = (WebElement)((JavascriptExecutor)dr).executeScript("return document.getElementById('roundtrip_r') ;");
System.out.println(round_trip.isSelected());
}
}
In the above example I am selecting radio button with "ROUND TRIP" using "JavaScript".
The last four lines are to verify and see whether the expected radio button is selected in the page or not.
NOTE: I am giving simple easy solution to solve a problem (selecting a radio) in the choosen webpage. A better code can be written. (user can write a method to accept radio ID and loop through all the existing radio button to see which one of them is selected).

Answer 4

I use this method:
String radioButtonId = "radioButtonId";
selenium.focus("id=" + radioButtonId);
selenium.click("id=" + radioButtonId, "concreteRadioButtonValue");

Answer 5

What you can do is this:
Create a method with a WebElement return type, and use the Method findElement(). Example:
WebDriver test;
test = new FirefoxDriver();
public static WebElement checkAndGet(By b) throws Exception {
return test.findElement(b);
}
Store the WebElement and use the Method click(). Example:
WebElement radiobutton = checkAndGet(By.xpath("//span[#class='label ng-binding']");
radiobutton.click();
Hope this helps!

Test Scenario : Select Gender(Female) radio button
Steps:
Launch new Browser
Open URL http://toolsqa.wpengine.com/automation-practice-form/
Select the Radio button (female) by Value ‘Female’
Code :
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); // Step 1 - Launch Browser
driver.get("http://toolsqa.com/automation-practice-form"); // Step 2 - Open Test URL
List<WebElement> rdBtn_Sex = driver.findElements(By.name("sex")); //
int size = rdBtn_Sex.size();
System.out.println("Total no of radio button :"+size);
for (int i=0; i< size; i++)
{
String sValue = rdBtn_Sex.get(i).getAttribute("value"); // Step 3 - 3. Select the Radio button (female) by Value ‘Female’
System.out.println("Radio button Name "+sValue);
if (sValue.equalsIgnoreCase("Female"))
{
rdBtn_Sex.get(i).click();
}
}

Answer 7

What you should do all the time is provide a locator for every object within a page and then use a method.
Like
driver.findElement(By.xpath(//CLASS[contains(., 'what you are looking for')])).click();
