Method: Capybara::Node::Actions#choose

Defined in:
lib/capybara/node/actions.rb

#choose([locator], **options) ⇒ Capybara::Node::Element

Find a descendant radio button and mark it as checked. The radio button can be found via name, id, test_id attribute or label text. If no locator is provided this will match against self or a descendant.

# will choose a descendant radio button with a name, id, or label text matching 'Male'
page.choose('Male')

# will choose `el` if it's a radio button element
el.choose()

If the driver is capable of executing JavaScript, this method will wait for a set amount of time and continuously retry finding the element until either the element is found or the time expires. The length of time this method will wait is controlled through default_max_wait_time.
