Radio Button not identified

I have tried a number of Ruby/Watir options to identify these two radio buttons and I can't do it. I want to .flash the radio button first then .set one of them.

browser.radio(:name => "appchoice_apps", :text => "Supervisor Console").flash
browser.radio(:span => "appchoice_supervisor").flash

I am not sure what else to try. I am very new here and I apologize for burning up your time.

<span id="appchoice_supervisor" style="visibility: visible;">
  <input type="radio" name="appchoice_apps"></input>
  Supervisor Console
</span>
<span id="appchoice_oa" style="display: block;">
  <input type="radio" checked="" name="appchoice_apps"><input>
  Associate Desktop
  <br></br>
</span>

Solution 1 - By Text

The first example will not work because the text "Supervisor Console" is a sibling of the radio button rather than a text of the radio button.

browser.radio(:name => "appchoice_apps", :text => "Supervisor Console").flash

To check the sibling text, you can try getting the span by its text and then navigating to the radio button:

browser.span(:text => "Supervisor Console").radio.flash

Solution 2 - By Parent ID

The second example will not work because span is not a valid identifier.

browser.radio(:span => "appchoice_supervisor").flash

Like the first solution, you can locate the span by its id and then look for a radio button within that span:

browser.span(:id => "appchoice_supervisor").radio.flash
