Handling Radio Buttons And CheckBoxes

Selenium

What are RadioButtons ?

Radio button is simply a graphical webelement that controls the selection of options that means only one radio button can be selected from a set of radio buttons at a time.

Using selenium webdriver radio buttons can be controlled.

Handling RadioButtons In Selenium

To select a radio button firstly locate that webelement and then perform click() .

WebElement MicrosoftExcel=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Excel']"));

MicrosoftExcel.click();

To confirm the selection we can use isSelected() method that returns boolean and returns True if condition is fulfilled.

MicrosoftExcel.isSelected()

* To deselect the selected radio button just, select the another one.

Here is a comlpete working code for radiobuttons =>

package seleniumexamples;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class RadioButtonExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebDriver driver;
String baseURL="https://www.keynotesupport.com/internet/web-contact-form-example-radio-buttons.shtml";

//Launch the web browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","..\\SeleniumJava\\drivers\\chromedriver99.exe");
driver=new ChromeDriver();

//To maximize the size of window
driver.manage().window().maximize();

//Navigate through an URL
driver.get(baseURL);

//Locate and select the radioButton
WebElement MicrosoftExcel=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Excel']"));
MicrosoftExcel.click();

//To change the selection...
if(MicrosoftExcel.isSelected()) {
Thread.sleep(3000);

//Select another radioButton and deselect the first one....
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Photoshop']")).click();
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println("\n* 'Adobe Photoshop' Is Selected and 'Microsoft Excel' Is Deselected !!");
}

driver.quit();

}

Output :

* 'Adobe Photoshop' Is Selected and 'Microsoft Excel' Is Deselected !!

Explain CheckBoxes.

It is also a graphical webelement but the difference is that multiple checkboxes can be selected from the set of checkboxes at a time.

Handling CheckBoxes In Selenium

Locate the graphical checkbox webelement and perform click() .

WebElement ShowPassword=driver.findElement(By.className("VfPpkd-muHVFf-bMcfAe"));

ShowPassword.click();

Again,isSelected() method can be used for confirmation.

ShowPassword.isSelected()

* To uncheck the checked box click again on it.

Here is a comlpete working code for checkBox =>

package seleniumexamples;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class CheckBoxExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebDriver driver;
String baseURL="https://accounts.google.com/signup/v2/webcreateaccount?flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=SignUp";

//Launch the web browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","..\\SeleniumJava\\drivers\\chromedriver99.exe");
driver=new ChromeDriver();

//To maximize the size of window
driver.manage().window().maximize();

//Navigate through an URL
driver.get(baseURL);

//Locate and Check the CheckBox
WebElement ShowPassword=driver.findElement(By.className("VfPpkd-muHVFf-bMcfAe"));
ShowPassword.click();

//To verify Checkbox is Checked
if(ShowPassword.isSelected()) {
Thread.sleep(3000);

//Uncheck the CheckBox
System.out.println("\nCheckBox Is Checked Successfully !!");
ShowPassword.click();
}
else
System.out.println("\nFAIL! CheckBox Is Not Checked !!");

driver.quit();
}

}

Output :

*CheckBox Is Checked Successfully !!
