Select radio button value with selenium

Question

I have a page with source code like the sample below. The page has a radio button with 5 values to select from. I’m trying to check the box for “Value One.” I’ve tried all the attempts below but haven’t had any luck with them.

I have also tried everything in the similar post: Using Selenium in Python to click/select a radio button

but none worked for me.

Does anyone see what the issue is and can suggest how to solve it?

source:

<div class="col-sm-11">
  <div class="radio">
    <label><input type="radio" name="questionaire3" value="Value One">Value One </label>
  </div>
</div>

code:

# driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[input type='radio'][value='Value One']").click()
# driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type='radio'][value='Value One']").click()
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[name='questionaire3'][value='Value One']").click()

error:

Update:

this worked

driver.find_element_by_name("questionaire3").send_keys('Value One')

Can you share the URL of the page that you're trying to scrape? — kerwei, Feb 25 '19 at 01:42
The value is "Value One "... note the space at the end, `value="Value One "`. Your attempts are missing that space. — JeffC, Feb 25 '19 at 03:02
@JeffC thanks for pointing that out, the space was a type-o. I corrected it in the original post. — modLmakur, Feb 25 '19 at 03:07
