How to select following element in selenium?












1















I have a div which contains a input with an identifier as id and a label in it. with my selenium method i can easily select the input as a webElement but how can i get the label webElement via the Input WebElement?



   <div class="item-selectable small-2 radio-item columns xsmall-12 item-selectable-stacked">
<input id="0-3" name="RatingQuestions[0].Score" type="radio" value="3" checked="">
<label for="0-3">
</label>
</div>


This is the method in selenium to select the webElement, whcih currently selects only the input and not like it should the label.



public void RateQuestion(int questionnumber, int rating)
{
string questionid = questionnumber.ToString() + "-" + rating.ToString();
IWebElement RateQuestionElement = this.Driver.FindElement(By.Id(questionid));
RateQuestionElement.Click();
}


The issue is that only the label is clickable and therefore i need to select the label from the input field, how can i do this?

No, you don't invoke click() on <label> nodes but on <input> nodes.



As per the HTML to invoke click() on the <input> tag with respect to the <label> tag you can use the following solution:



public void RateQuestion(int questionnumber, int rating)
{
string questionid = questionnumber.ToString() + "-" + rating.ToString();
IWebElement RateQuestionElement = this.Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[@for='" + questionid + "']"));
RateQuestionElement.Click();
}

    Try this:



    public void RateQuestion(int questionnumber, int rating)
    {
    string questionid = questionnumber.ToString() + "-" + rating.ToString();
    IWebElement RateQuestionElement = this.Driver.FindElement(By.Id(questionid)).FindElement(By.Xpath("./../../label"));
    RateQuestionElement.Click();
    }


    Or this:



    public void RateQuestion(int questionnumber, int rating)
    {
    string questionid = questionnumber.ToString() + "-" + rating.ToString();
    IWebElement RateQuestionElement = this.FindElement(By.Xpath("//*[contains(local-name(), 'label') and contains(@for, questionid)]"));
    RateQuestionElement.Click();
    }


    The latter one - I'm not that good with C#, so perhaps you'll have to put {questionid} there, rather than just questionid.

      There are some options:




      1. After you select the element with questionId, the you can continue further to select the label.
        e.g:


      IWebElement RateQuestionElement = this.Driver.FindElement(By.Id(questionid)); 

      IWebElement RateQuestionLabel = RateQuestionElement.FindElement(By.Css("label"));



      RateQuestionLabel.click();


      or




      1. You can use CssSelector
        e.g:


      myCssSelector = "#myQuestionId label"

      IWebElement RateQuestionElement = this.Driver.FindElement(By.Css(myCssSelector));

      RateQuestionElement.click();


      I have not tried to execute it myself, but the concept is there
