Radio button does not get clicked in Selenium / Python

Question

Folks, this is driving me crazy. I have snippets like the following

<label class="" for="M37_Q_POSWECHSEL_BETT_B1">
    <input id="M37_Q_POSWECHSEL_BETT_B1" name="M37_Q_POSWECHSEL_BETT" value="B1" aria-describedby="M37_Q_POSWECHSEL_BETT_error_0" aria-invalid="true" data-clipboard="M37_Q_POSWECHSEL_BETT#B1" type="radio">
    0
</label>

Here, I'd like to select the radio buttons and select them with the following code:

radios = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[starts-with(@id, 'M37_Q_')][@value='B1']")
for radio in radios:
    # just check the id
    print(radio.get_attribute('id'))
    radio.click()

It correctly selects the elements in question. However, it does not get selected nor does it yield any obvious errors. Can we use .click() to select radio buttons here? Is this some kind of handler problem?

Also, how is it possible that my profile has a reach that is almost triple yours? I'm not trying to start a pissing match I'm just genuinely curious. Judging by your reputation you should have reached a zillion people by now. — zelusp

@zelusp: I guess it's depending on the type of question you're asking. I'd reckon that JSON questions are generally reaching a broader audience, e.g. your answer here: stackoverflow.com/questions/12943819/… — Jan

Try this,

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].checked = true;",element)

You can also try by sending ENTER Key to the element.

Does not do the job.

@Jan I have gone through some of the articles and they says apply wait because sometimes element is not in the state to click.

Try using following Css selector:

        Actions action = new Actions(drive);

        action.moveToElement(drive.findElement( By.cssSelector("label > input[id^='M37_Q_']"))).build().perform();

        drive.findElement( By.cssSelector("label > input[id^='M37_Q_']")).click();

As stated, this is in Python, your code is for sth. else (probably JS).
