The radio button is not getting selected with this HTML code for that. How to do that?

Question

<input id="radio2" name="radioGroup" type="radio">
<label class="flRight" for="radio2">
  ::before
  "Senior Citizen"
  ::after
</label>

WebElement senior = driver.findElement(By.id("radio2"));
      senior.click();

Now the problem is the code is not able to click the desired element.

Try using different ways of clicking an element. (Link)https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44912203/selenium-web-driver-java-element-is-not-clickable-at-point-x-y-other-elem Second way always works for me. — Pratik, Nov 05 '19 at 16:47
You might need to post the full HTML, or a link, for the page you are trying to automate. Your locator strategy looks fine, and WebDriverWait does not solve the issue either. The most likely problem here is that your locator is not specific enough, and it is not finding the correct element to click. — CEH, Nov 05 '19 at 16:52

Use WebDriverWait:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
WebElement senior = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("radio2")));
senior.click();

After seeing the WebSite it looks like the input is not the element you want to click rather the label...

So just change the senior var to:

WebElement senior = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@id='RadioButton']//label[@for='radio2']")));

The best way to automate human actions in the case where the element is not clickable dew to other elements covering them is to use Actions:

WebElement senior = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@id='RadioButton']//label[@for='radio2']")));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(senior).click().build().perform();

(using JavascriptExecutor and executeScript doesn't realy click... it just invokes the method that can be good but not for testing...)

As a last resort use JavascriptExecutor:

JavascriptExecutor jse= (JavascriptExecutor) driver; 
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", senior);

No it's still not able to identify the element – ABHISHEK DAS Nov 05 '19 at 16:49
It's not getting clicked... well the website is "https://www.axisbank.com/retail/calculators/fd-calculator" and I need to select the radio button next to Senior Citizen – ABHISHEK DAS Nov 05 '19 at 16:53
How did you get the xpath of that? – ABHISHEK DAS Nov 05 '19 at 17:33
I use the `inspect` button in Chrome... the `ctrl` + `f` and input any xpath that's an easy way to ensure your xpaths – Moshe Slavin Nov 05 '19 at 17:34

Try with this:

WebElement senior = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[@class='radioBtn']/label[2]"));
    WebElement close = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[@id='nvpush_cross']"));
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(close));
    close.click();
    senior.click();

Code didnt worked before because there is popup you need to close it.

I have updated the xpath after going through the link that you have provided. – Pratik Nov 05 '19 at 16:57
Still not able to click it. – ABHISHEK DAS Nov 05 '19 at 17:01
FAILED: f org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element ... is not clickable at point (492, 602). Other element would receive the click:

@MosheSlavin I ran it in my environment and saw there is pop up, probably that is what the problem – Pratik Nov 05 '19 at 17:23

You need to induce WebdriverWait And to click on the radio button use JavaScript Executor since neither webdriver click nor action class is working

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20); 
WebElement item=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@class='flRight' and @for='radio2']")));
JavascriptExecutor js= (JavascriptExecutor) driver; 
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", item);

Please try below solution :

  WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
  WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@class='flRight' and @for='radio2']")));

  Actions action=new Actions(driver);
  action.moveToElement(element).click().perform();

The radio button is not getting selected with this HTML code for that. How to do that?
