Selenium testing - checkbox "element not interactable"-CodePudding

Trying to select element for testing. We have it's ID, so:

   @FindBy(how = How.ID, using = "tree-node-home")
    WebElement CheckBoxMenuItem;

Throws error: "element not interactable".

Same with XPath or selecting by css [type='checkbox']

Tried to defer loading:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("tree-node-home")));

But this time I got "java: <identifier> expected" with the cursor blinking before (ExpectedConditions".

What the F.?

CodePudding user response：

You have to click the parrent label instead of the checkbox.

Code:

package selenium;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class DemoQACheckBoxTest extends WebDriverSetup {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        WebDriver driver = startChromeDriver(); // wrapped driver init
        driver.get("https://demoqa.com/checkbox");
        WebElement checkBox = driver.findElement(By.id("tree-node-home"));
        WebElement checkBoxLabel = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[contains(@for,'tree-node-home')]"));
        System.out.println("checkbox text: "   checkBox.getText());
        System.out.println("label text: "   checkBoxLabel.getText());
        System.out.println("checkbox is displayed: "   checkBox.isDisplayed());
        System.out.println("checkbox is enabled: "   checkBox.isEnabled());
        System.out.println("checkbox is selected: "   checkBox.isSelected());
        checkBoxLabel.click();
        System.out.println("checkbox is selected: "   checkBox.isSelected());
        driver.quit();
    }

}
