WebdriverIO - Handling Radio Buttons
We can handle radio buttons in the UI while automating a test using WebdriverIO. The radio buttons are identified in the html code with the tagname as input and type as radio.
The following screen will appear on your computer −
Methods for Radio Buttons
Some methods to work with radio buttons are as follows −
click()
It is used to select a radio button.
Syntax
The syntax is as follows −
const l = $('.rad') l.click()
isSelected()
It is used to check if an element of type radio is selected or not. It returns a Boolean value (true if selected, false if not).
Syntax
The syntax is as follows −
const l = $('.rad') l.isSelected()
To begin, follow Steps 1 to 5 from the Chapter titled Happy path flow with WebdriverIO which are as follows −
Step 1 − Install NodeJS. The details on how to perform this installation are given in detail in the Chapter titled Getting Started with NodeJS.
Step 2 − Install NPM. The details on how to perform this installation are given in detail in the Chapter titled Installation of NPM.
Step 3 − Install VS Code. The details on how to perform this installation are given in detail in the Chapter titled VS Code Installation.
Step 4 − Create the Configuration file. The details on how to perform this installation are given in detail in the Chapter titled Configuration File generation.
Step 5 − Create a spec file. The details on how to perform this installation are given in the Chapter titled Mocha Installation.
Step 6 − Add the below code within the Mocha spec file created.
// test suite name describe('Tutorialspoint application', function(){ //test case it('Radio Button', function(){ // launch url browser.url('https://www.tutorialspoint.com/selenium/selenium_automation_practice.htm') //identify radio button with CSS then click const p = $("input[value='1']") p.click() //verify if selected console.log(p.isSelected()) }); });
Run the Configuration file - wdio.conf.js file with the following command −
npx wdio run wdio.conf.js
The details on how to create a Configuration file are discussed in detail in the Chapter titled Wdio.conf.js file and Chapter titled Configuration File generation.
The following screen will appear on your computer −
After the command has been executed successfully, the boolean value is printed in the console. This is returned by the isSelected() function which returns true as the radio button is selected in the previous step.
