Working with Radio Groups

Iterate radio buttons in a radio group

So far, we have been focusing on identifying a specific web control by using one type of locator, i.e., findElement. We will now use another type of locator called findElements.

findElement is different from findElements in a sense because findElement returns one matched control, whereas findElements return a list of matched controls. This comes in handy when the controls are hard to locate like in the case of a radio group. An example of iterating through a radio group is given below:

driver.findElements(By.name("gender")).then(function(radios){
  assert.equal(2, radios.length);
  radios.forEach(function(radio){
    radio.getAttribute("Value").then(function(radio_value) {
      if (radio_value == "female") {
        radio.click();
      }
    });        
  });      
});
