Handling Check Box using Selenium WebDriver with example
In this tutorial we will learn about how to handle check box in selenium WebDriver.
- The checkbox is used for the selection of one or multiple options in a web Page.
- Handling checkbox in Selenium WebDriver involves two steps i.e check or uncheck the checkbox.Â
- We can check or uncheck a checkbox using the click () method.
- isSelected() method is a predefined method of selenium WebDriver and it is used to verify that a web-element is selected or not. It is used with radio buttons, drop-downs and checkboxes and This method returns Boolean value with success and failure.
Let us understand how to interact with checkbox using below scenario
- Open the Chrome Browser
- Navigate to URL https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/
- In Section ‘Check Boxes’ check both the checkboxes ‘Selenium testing’ and API testing
- Then uncheck ‘API testing’
- Verify Check box Selenium Testing is selected and print True or false.
Code Implementation
package com.test;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class DemoForCheckBoxes {
public static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// Create a new instance of the Chrome driver
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
// Launch the URL
driver.get("https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/");
// Maximize the window
driver.manage().window().maximize();
//check both the checkboxes ‘Selenium testing’ and API testing
driver.findElement(By.id("seleniumtest")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("apitest")).click();
//uncheck ‘API testing’
driver.findElement(By.id("apitest")).click();
//Verify Check box Selenium Testing is selected and print True or false.
boolean check = driver.findElement(By.id("apitest")).isSelected();
System.out.println("API testing checkbox is Checked :" +check);
// close the driver
driver.close();
