How to validate checkbox in Selenium IDE?

Question

I am new to Selenium IDE. I want to do validations for the checkbox. I have tried the below code

<tr>
<td>mouseOver</td>
<td>name=viewIndex</td>
<td>356</td>

 <tr>
    <td>click</td>
    <td>name=viewIndex</td>
    <td>356</td>
</tr>

It is executing the result as

[info] Executing: |mouseOver | name=viewIndex | 356 |

But there is no progress on my webpage.

Answer 1

I would use Selenium Builder instead of Selenium IDE. If your script was exported as Java, then you just do this:

WebElement checkbox = driver.findElement( By,id('the_id' ) );
if ( checkbox.isSelected() ) {
  System.out.println("Checkbox was already selected: " + checkbox.toString() );
} else {
   checkbox.click();
}

I use this project template to run my Builder scripts.

I just used check in command for checking the particular value and uncheck for unchecking the value for it.

As my code goes below

<tr>
<td>check</td>
<td>loggerCheck</td>
<td></td>

<tr>
    <td>uncheck</td>
    <td>loggerCheck</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

You can do something like...

if   |   !selenium.isChecked("my_checkbox")
   waitForElementPresent   |   name=my_checkbox
   click                   |   name=my_checkbox
   waitForValue            |   name=my_checkbox   |   on

The code above will check to see if the box is checked. If not, then it will check the box and verify that it's checked [on]. The only downfall to the method above is I haven't found a way to do this with a checkbox using anything except NAME or ID. I haven't gotten this to work using XPATH or CSS, which would help in the even that the box doesn't show a change in status [xpath] when you check/uncheck it.

First of all add plugin (.js file) to your Selenium IDE.

Go to menu Option > Options Upload on Selenium Core Extension slot (user-extension.js)

Second using the Gotoif and Label command. Full instruction here but change the "store" to "storeChecked" because you want to save the boolean of the checklist. The rest is same.

Hope this is helping!
