There are different operations that can be performed on a checkbox using Selenium WebDriver. The most common operations include:
- Check / Uncheck
- Determine if the checkbox is Editable or not Editable
- Check whether the checkbox is Selected or Not Selected
Navigate to https://www.qafeast.com/demo, and click the checkbox tab.
Press F12 on the keyboard and inspect the checkbox.
Check/uncheck:
Selenium webdriver doesn't provide a special method to select the checkbox, we can use the click() method to select the radio button.
WebElement checked = driver.findElement(By.name("reportchkbox_1"));
checked.click();
Editable or not:
Checkbox may not be editable sometimes, to determine whether it is editable or not, we can use the isEnabled() function
WebElement checked = driver.findElement(By.name("reportchkbox_1"));
boolean isSelected = checked.isEnabled();
if (isSelected) {
System.out.println("Check box is Enabled and Editable");
}else{
System.out.println("Check box is not Enabled and Editable");
}
Selected or not selected:-
To verify which check box is checked, we can use the isSelected() function
WebElement checked = driver.findElement(By.name("reportchkbox_1"));
boolean isSelected = checked.isSelected();
if (isSelected) {
System.out.println("Check box is selected");
}else{
System.out.println("Check box is not selected");
}
Using the getAttribute() function we can determine using the checked property, if the checkbox is checked then it returns true or null if it is not checked
String rdBt = driver.findElement(By.name("reportchkbox_1")).getAttribute("checked");
System.out.println(rdBt );
Using Selenium Csharp
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
internal class SeleniumTest
{
static IWebDriver driver;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
driver = new ChromeDriver(@"\\Driver\\chromedriver.exe");
//Implicit Wait:
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://qafeast.com/demo");
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[text()='Checkbox']")).Click();
//Check/uncheck:
driver.FindElement(By.Name("reportchkbox_1")).Click();
//Editable or not:
bool isEnabled = driver.FindElement(By.Name("reportchkbox_1")).Enabled;
if (isEnabled)
{
Console.WriteLine("Check box is Enabled and Editable");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Check box is not Enabled and Editable");
}
//Selected or not selected :-
bool isSelected = driver.FindElement(By.Name("reportchkbox_1")).Selected;
if (isSelected)
{
Console.WriteLine("Check box is selected");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Check box is not selected");
}
// Using getAttribute() function
string rdBt = driver.FindElement(By.Name("reportchkbox_1")).GetAttribute("checked");
Console.WriteLine(rdBt);
driver.Quit();
}
}
}
