I'm trying to select a checkbox / radio button by all the possible ways that I can think of, but none of them have worked.

This is the way I am trying to identity de checkbox

WebElement selectGender = driver.findElement(By.id("id_gender1"));
selectGender.click();

Here is the HTML code

<div class="radio-inline">
    <label for="id_gender1" class="top">
     <div class="radio" id="uniform-id_gender1"><span class="checked"><input type="radio" name="id_gender" id="id_gender1" value="1">
     </span>
     </div>
       Mr.
   </label>
</div>

This is the error message I am receiving.

  • were you able to locate the element using the same css in the chrome browser dev tools? – supputuri Jul 24 '19 at 15:48

Induce WebDriverWait and elementToBeClickable to click on the element.

Try the following options.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
WebElement selectGender = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("id_gender1")));
selectGender.click()

OR

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
WebElement selectGender = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@class='radio-inline']/label[@for='id_gender1']")));
selectGender.click()

  findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='id_gender']")).click();

--Disclaimer: cant comment yet due to lack of reputation--

the code where you fetch the id seems fine, and no spelling errors in the code either. But it could be that your answer is found here:

Unable to locate an Element By ID in Selenium

Also: please post what you have tried so far in a bit more detail. You say in all ways you know, but we dont know what that is :).

For example, reference the stackoverflow answers you have tried that are similar to yours

Your code works fine. Why your error message have css Selector? when you are not using cssSelector.

if using cssSelector then: WebElement selectGender = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#id_gender1")); selectGender.click();

I am sure you are trying to click element which is inside the frame. First of all you have to switch driver on that frame and perform your test script.

driver123.switchTo().frame(<some frame index or id>;//Switching frame
WebElement selectGender = driver.findElement(By.id("id_gender1"));//Storing element
selectGender.click();//Clicking on element

Note: If you do not have frame id or index use xpath for switch to that frame.
