Multiple Checkboxes – through selenium web driver API

Multiple Checkboxes – through selenium web driver API

Working with checkboxes in website with different examples to select and unselect the checkboxes using selenium webdriver API Select class, Below in this tutorial we get to know about, working with multiple checkbox.

In the real time scenario,There are many cases were we need to select multiple checkboxes or un-select the multiple checkbox. Below is the generic code to work with multiple checkbox.

Bello We will be  passing two parameters, where one is the wait time to wait for an element to be clickable and then perform the check operation. Only when the Checkbox control is not selected.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException;

import org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class CheckBoxExample {

private WebDriver driver;

@Test

private void testMultipleCheckBoxExample() throws Exception {

driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.navigate().to("App URL");

WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value=itunes]"));

                 WebElement element2 = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value=lastfm]"));

 WebElement element3 = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value=spotify]"));

WebElement[] elements = { element1, element2, element3 };

safeSelectCheckBoxesExample (10, elements);

}

public void safeSelectCheckBoxesExample(int waitTime, WebElement... elements) throws Exception {

WebElement checkElement = null;

try {

if (elements.length > 0) {

for (WebElement currentElement : elements) {

 checkElement = currentElement;

 WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, waitTime);

 wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(currentElement));

WebElement checkBox = currentElement;

if (checkBox.isSelected())

System.out.println("CheckBox " + currentElement+ " is already selected");

else

 checkBox.click();

}

} else {

System.out.println("Expected at least one element as an argument to safeSelectCheckboxesExample function");

}

} catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {

System.out.println("Element - " + checkElement      + " is not attached to the page document like DOM "

+ e.getStackTrace());

} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {

System.out.println("Element =" + checkElement + " was not found in DOM"+ e.getStackTrace());

} catch (Exception e) {

System.out.println("Unable to select checkbox in givin web site" + e.getStackTrace());

}

}

}
