Handling Radio Button using Selenium WebDriver with Example
In this tutorial we will learn how to interact with radio button in selenium.
We can select or unselect radio buttons like checkbox using the click method .
We can select one radio button at a time.Â
We can also perform below checks before doing click operation on these
- Verify Radio button or Checkbox is displayed on the webpage
- Verify Radio button or Checkbox is enabled on the webpage
- Verify the default selection of the Radio button or Checkbox
Above scenarios can be verified using below predefined methods in selenium webdriver
- isDisplayed()
- isEnabled()
- isSelected()
Let’s take an exampleÂ
- Navigate to URL https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/
- Verify above all the three scenarios for radio button ‘Male’ mentioned under Gender.
Below is the webElement for Male button
WebElement radioButtonMale = driver.findElement (By.id("male"));
All the three methods will return boolean values either true or False.
isDisplayed()
radioButtonMale.isDisplayed () ⇒ returns  true (Male radio button is present on the webpage ).
isEnabled()
radioButtonMale.isEnabled() == > returns true (Male radio button is enabled on the webpage)
isSelected()
radioButtonMale.isSelected() == > returns false (Male radio button is not already selected)
Now Let us understand how to interact with Radio button using below scenario
- Open the Chrome Browser
- Navigate to URL https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/
- In Section ‘Radio buttons’’ ,Â
- Verify ‘Male’ radio button is displayed , Print the output of isDisplayed().
- Verify ‘Male’ radio button is enabled , Print the output of isEnabled().
- Choose ‘Male’ radio button
- Verify ‘Male’ radio button is selected , Print the output of isSelected().
- Close the browser.
Code Implementation
package com.test;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import junit.framework.Assert;
public class HandlingRadioButton {
public static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// Create a new instance of the Chrome driver
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
// Launch the URL
driver.get("https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/");
// Maximize the window
driver.manage().window().maximize();
WebElement radioButtonMale = driver.findElement(By.id("male"));
// Verify ‘Male’ radio button is displayed , Print the output of
// isDisplayed().
Boolean flagDisplay = radioButtonMale.isDisplayed();
Assert.assertTrue(flagDisplay);
System.out.println("Male radio Button is displayed :" + flagDisplay);
// Verify ‘Male’ radio button is enabled , Print the output of
// isEnabled().
Boolean flagEnable = radioButtonMale.isEnabled();
Assert.assertTrue(flagEnable);
System.out.println("Male radio Button is Enabled :" + flagEnable);
// Choose ‘Male’ radio button
radioButtonMale.click();
// Verify ‘Male’ radio button is selected , Print the output of
// isSelected().
Boolean flagselected = radioButtonMale.isSelected();
Assert.assertTrue(flagselected);
System.out.println("Male radio Button is Selected :" + flagselected);
// close the driver
driver.close();
}
