I want to test a checkbox that has no label. The point is that there are other checkboxes as well so I cant use getByRole.
I have tried to use data-testid, but apparently, it's not working.
How am I supposed to check if that checkbox is checked(toBeChecked())?
<Checkbox
data-testid={item?.id}
key={item?.id}
id={item?.id.toString()}
color="secondary"
checked={item?.checked}
disabled={hasAll}
onChange={(e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
if (item) {
item.checked = e.target.checked;
setFinalData(updateItemInArray(finalData, {
item,
index,
}));
}
}}
/>

The proper way to do this would be to add an aria-label
to your checkbox, so it's announced correctly by screen readers:
<Checkbox inputProps={{ 'aria-label': 'Select row 1' }} />
This way, you'll be able to select it in your tests using getByLabelText
.
If you want to use data-testid
, you can place it on the checkbox similarly to aria-label
:
<Checkbox inputProps={{ 'data-testid': 'checkbox1' }} />
Note that if you're using Typescript, you'd have to cast the inputProps to React.InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement>
as data attributes are not a part of InputHTMLAttributes:
<Checkbox inputProps={{ 'data-testid': 'checkbox1' } as React.InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement>} />
