Handling Check Boxes in Selenium

CheckBox:
The checkbox is a GUI element that allows users to select either single or multiple choices out of the given list.
How to recognize checkbox in HTML?

• We can define a checkbox in HTML using input type="checkbox" tag.
• Any locator strategy that uses DOM for locating web elements should use this tag and properties for recognizing the checkbox.

Locating checkbox by id:

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class CheckBox {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver ch = new ChromeDriver(); // finding element by id
        ch.get("https://testautomationpractice.blogspot.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com");
        ch.findElement(By.id("sunday")).click();
        boolean tuesdayCheckbox = ch.findElement(By.id("tuesday")).isSelected();
        ch.findElement(By.id("monday")).click();
        System.out.println(tuesdayCheckbox + "Tuesday check box not selected");
                }

    }

LOCATE USING CSSSELECTOR AND SELECTING ALL CHECKBOXES USING FINDELEMENTS() METHOD:

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class CheckBox_css {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver ch = new ChromeDriver();
        ch.get("https://testautomationpractice.blogspot.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com");
        List<WebElement> allCheckBoxes = ch.findElements(By.cssSelector("input.form-check-input[type='checkbox']"));
        System.out.println(allCheckBoxes.size());
        for (WebElement value : allCheckBoxes) {
            System.out.println(value.getAttribute("value"));
            if (!value.isSelected()) {
                value.click();
            }

        }

    }

}

LOCATE CHECKBOX USING XPATH:

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Checkbox_xpath {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver ch = new ChromeDriver(); // finding element by id
        ch.get("https://testautomationpractice.blogspot.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com");
        List<WebElement> allCheckBoxes = ch
                .findElements(By.xpath("//input[@class='form-check-input' and @type='checkbox']"));
        System.out.println(allCheckBoxes.size());
        for (WebElement value : allCheckBoxes) {
            System.out.println(value.getAttribute("value"));
            if (!value.isSelected()) {
                System.out.println("not selected");
                value.click();
            }

        }

    }
}

SELECTING ONLY PARTICULAR CHECKBOXES USING ARRAY

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Checkbox_slectedValuesArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver ch = new ChromeDriver();
        ch.get("https://testautomationpractice.blogspot.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com");
        String toSelectid[] = { "sunday", "monday", "wednesday", "friday" };
        for (String id : toSelectid) {
            System.out.println(id);
            if (!ch.findElement(By.id(id)).isSelected())
                ch.findElement(By.id(id)).click();
        }
    }
}

SELECTING ONLY PARTICULAR CHECKBOXES USING ARRAY AND FINDELEMENTS

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Checkbox_xpath {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver ch = new ChromeDriver(); 
        String toSelectid[] = { "sunday", "monday", "wednesday", "friday" };
        ch.get("https://testautomationpractice.blogspot.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com");
        List<WebElement> allCheckBoxes = ch
                .findElements(By.xpath("//input[@class='form-check-input' and @type='checkbox']"));
        System.out.println(allCheckBoxes.size());
        for (WebElement value : allCheckBoxes) {
            System.out.println(value.getAttribute("id"));
            for(int i=0;i<toSelectid.length;i++) {
            if (!value.isSelected()&& value.getAttribute("id").equals(toSelectid[i])) {
                System.out.println("not selected");
                value.click();
            }

        }

    }
}
