Unable to select radio button using selenium java

I want to select a radio button using selenium web driver. My code is

<div class="radio-switch-group" aria-label="RequestForCheckBox" role="menu">
<label>
    <input type="radio" name="request_for" value="self" ng-model="data.form.requestFor" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid">
    <span class="radio-label" translate=""><span class="ng-scope">Self</span></span>
</label>
<label>
    <input type="radio" name="request_for" value="other" data-ng-click="$scope.getDataHandler()" ng-model="data.form.requestFor" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid">
    <span class="radio-label" translate=""><span class="ng-scope">Others</span></span>
</label>
</div>

I tried to locate the element with code shown below

WebElement other = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"make-request-form\"]/div/section/div[2]/div/form/div[1]/div/div/div/label[2]/input")));
other.click();

But getting below 

 Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.xpath: //*[@id="make-request-form"]/div/section/div[2]/div/form/div[1]/div/div/div/label[2]/input (tried for 20 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)

Try using ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element) instead of visibilityOfElementLocated()

As per the HTML you have shared and your code trials moving ahead as you will be clicking one of the Radio Buttons instead of ExpectedConditions visibilityOfElementLocated() you need to use elementToBeClickable() as follows :

  • To click on the Radio Button associated with the text Self you can use the following line of code :

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid' and @value='self']"))).click();

  • To click on the Radio Button associated with the text Others you can use the following line of code :

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid' and @value='other']"))).click();

According to the thrown exception, you are running in the wait timeout.

Either your object is not existing after the default timeout of 20 seconds or the xPath you are using is wrong. You can try to use the following xPath to select the second label: (//input[@name="request_for"])[2]

Tipp: for a quick test, past your HTML code into a xPath generator (e.g.: https://www.freeformatter.com/xpath-tester.html) and test the xPath expression without the need to rerun Selenium.
