I am trying to figure out if a checkbox on our website is in a checked state or not. The HTML for the checkbox is as follows:
<input id="ID_StaffIsRostered" name="ID_Rostering" type="checkbox" checked="" data-toggle="toggle" data-onstyle="success" data-size="sm" data-on="Yes" data-off="No" onchange="toggleRosteredStaff()">
I've tried finding this via these locators:
- (By.ID, "ID_StaffIsRostered")
- (By.XPATH, "input[@name='ID_Rostering']"
- (By.XPATH,"//*[@id='ID_StaffIsRostered']")
- (By.XPATH,"/html/body/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/table[3]/tbody/tr/td/div[1]/div[2]/div/form/div/div[1]/div/label/div/input")
- (By.CSS_SELECTOR,"label:nth-child(1) > .btn-light .toggle-off")
- (By.XPATH,"//form[@id='ID_Form_Rostering']/div/div/div/label/div/div/label[2]")
- (By.XPATH,"//div/div/div/label/div/div/label[2]")
Nothing has worked so far. I can however select the div containing the checkbox, and the labels that the checkboxes switch between depending on what it is toggle to, the HTML is:
<div class="toggle btn btn-success btn-sm" data-toggle="toggle" style="width: 7.5px; height: 26px; min-width: 38px;">
and for the labels:
<div class="toggle-group"><label class="btn btn-success btn-sm toggle-on">Yes</label><label class="btn btn-light btn-sm toggle-off">No</label><span class="toggle-handle btn btn-light btn-sm"></span></div>
What are some alternative ways I can achiever this? Currently I'm using Selenium 4.0.0 with Python 3.9
CodePudding user response：
- the checked parameter of the checkbox will indicate whether it is checked or not, you can get the status of this parameter through xpath（.../input[@checked]）
- carefully observe the website laws, whether the checked checkboxes have any special status, such as color, text, etc.
CodePudding user response：
There are ways I can think of.
element.get_attribute('checked')
Or you can query javascript.
return document.querySelector('input[name="ID_Rostering"]').checked;
As for trying xpath but its not always reliable.
//input[@type='checkbox' and not(@checked)]
for not checked
//input[@type='checkbox' and @checked)]
for checked
