Ruby Watir radio checkbox

Question

im trying to set the checkbox on a radio control with the .set? option. it returns false but I'm unable to set the checkbox.

<div class="">
<input name="radiostorage" id="zrs" value="2" type="radio">
<label for="zrs">Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)</label>
</div>

have tried with label(for: 'zrs').set .click .parent.click .parent.set, also directly trying to click on the input , but nothing happens, any clue on that

TIA

Answer 1

Given the way that the radio button is implemented, it will not be considered visible. You will get an exception trying to set it directly:

browser.radio(id: 'zrs').set
#=> element located, but timed out after 2 seconds, waiting for #<Watir::Radio: located: true; {:id=>"zrs", :tag_name=>"input", :type=>"radio"}> to be present (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)

Instead of setting it directly, you can click its associated label, which is what an actual user would do:

browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto('https://pricing-calculator.bluekiri.cloud/')
p browser.radio(id: 'zrs').set?
#=> false
browser.label(for: 'zrs').click
p browser.radio(id: 'zrs').set?
#=> true

Answer 2

How about

radio = browser.radio(id: 'zrs')
radio.set?        #=> false
radio.set
radio.set?        #=> true
