I've been trying to automatize a report with python/selenium from a webpage. Right now I'm stock trying to select a radio button. Could you please help me with this issue, and if is possible some tips to make the code look/work better.
I'm using XPath Helper to identify XPaths but I'm getting a "Null" value for this:
//*[@id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rbUseSpecifiedDeviceConfiguration"] This is the error message that I get when I run the code:
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rbUseSpecifiedDeviceConfiguration']"} webpage code
<div class="indent"> <div> <input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rbUseDeviceDefaultConfigurations" type="radio" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$gnConfigurationType" value="rbUseDeviceDefaultConfigurations" checked="checked"><label for="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rbUseDeviceDefaultConfigurations">Default Device Configurations</label> </div> <div> </div> <div> <span class="hasValidation"><input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rbUseSpecifiedDeviceConfiguration" type="radio" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$gnConfigurationType" value="rbUseSpecifiedDeviceConfiguration" onclick="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$rbUseSpecifiedDeviceConfiguration\',\'\')', 0)"><label for="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rbUseSpecifiedDeviceConfiguration">Specify Device Configuration...</label></span> </div> <div class="indent"> </div> <div> </div> <div class="indent"> </div> </div> Python code
