How to click on a radio button in selenium webdriver using javascript?

Question

I am trying to run a test script that will click a radio button. The radio button elements are inside a div.

Here is the javascript code:

var driver = new Builder().forBrowser("chrome").build();
await driver.get("URL");
var selectGender = driver.findElement(By.css("div[class='gender-select-child'] label[for='male-child0']"));
await selectGender.click();

Hoping for a resolve.

Answer 1

To click on the radio-button with text as Male you can use either of the following locator strategies:

var driver = new Builder().forBrowser("chrome").build();
await driver.get("URL");
var selectGender = driver.findElement(By.css("div[class='gender-select-child'] input[id^='male']"));
await selectGender.click();

Answer 2

I was able to click the radio button using this syntax...

await driver.findElement(By.css("label[for='female-child0']")).click();

However, I need to use it twice for it to work. My script looks like this...

Any idea why?
