How to select the Checkboxes when there are set of both Enable and Disabled checkboxes

creta · March 16, 2019, 10:46am

Hi
My application has set of records in which some are enabled and some are disabled. Here i want to check from the list if record is disable then search for a enabled record from the list and select it.

Any Help?
Regards!!

Hi,

    verify is it clickable or not

import org.openqa.selenium.By
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory

WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()

//List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@type='checkbox']"));
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-4']/label"));
List <String> chxClickable = new Arraylist<>()
List <String> chxNotClickable = new Arraylist<>()
int val = 1
String txtval = val
for (WebElement el: elements){
	'Then you have to change xpath property value to get all checkbox values'
	'Change xpath property to new value'
	checkboxToModify = WebUI.modifyObjectProperty(findTestObject('Object Repository/DatePicker/Page_/day'), 'text','equals',txtval, true)
	clickable = WebUI.verifyElementClickable(checkboxToModify, FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)
	if(clickable){
		println ("DEBUG**** clickable "+clickable)
		chxClickable.add("${el.getText()}")
	
	}else{
		chxNotClickable.add("${el.getText()}")
		println ("DEBUG**** not clickable "+clickable)
	}
	txtval++
}
for (String s : chxClickable){
	
	println ("here are all enabled checkboxes "+s)
}

for (String k : chxNotClickable){
	
	println ("here are all Not enabled checkboxes "+k)
}

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 5:52am

hi,
i guess that this class name is not in your application
col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-4’
“List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-4’]/label’))”

NOTE NOTE
my code examples here are not the full solution

creta · March 18, 2019, 5:54am

Hey

I am very new to this and learning about the coding. So if u can expain me bit more like what exactly i need to put there. Like which element i need to capture for the same. Is it check box? for the below one

List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-4’]/label’))”

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 5:56am

ping here checkbox xpaths

"List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-4’]/label’))”
class name where tag checkbox is in a Html
could you ping some piece of your application html here

creta · March 18, 2019, 6:13am

Yeah.

This is the Inspect element for disabled checkbox

This is the inspect element fo enabled checkbox

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 6:19am

try with this class name
List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘pure-g row-s-box’]/label’))

but then i will need xpath values too

creta · March 18, 2019, 6:37am

hey
here is the xpath value of check box

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 7:01am

what is the xpath value if Attributes radio button is selected in Katalon?

creta · March 18, 2019, 7:11am

hey

I see the same above mentioned xpath works for both selected and unselected checkboxes.

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 7:16am

change xpath properties value in xpath string as here is done with index

def index = 1
 List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘pure-g row-s-box’]/label’))
for (WebElement el: elements){
xPath = ".//*[normalize-space(text()) and normalize-space(.)='Facility'])[1]/following::input["+index+"]" //note this is not from your html, only example, you have to pick up correct xpath from your html
checkboxToModify = WebUI.modifyObjectProperty(findTestObject('<object path>'), 'xpath','equals',xPath, true)
clickable = WebUI.verifyElementClickable(checkboxToModify, FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)
index++
}

creta · March 18, 2019, 8:02am

hey

Please see the following error showing in scripts

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 8:12am

check my latest comments, there was my typo, fixed it

 List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘pure-g row-s-box’]/label’))
for (WebElement el: elements){

creta · March 18, 2019, 8:25am

hey

Sorry for the trouble, I added the scripts given by you and it showed me this error

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 8:33am

what is note when red x pressed?

creta · March 18, 2019, 8:33am

unexpected token: for @ line 26, column 1

Timo_Kuisma2 · March 18, 2019, 8:37am

correct these  '
```
List elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath(’//div[@class=‘pure-g row-s-box’]/label’))

do not copy all :slight_smile: 
```
or if you want to copy all then copy through notepad
