In order to check/verify if a checkbox is selected or checked or unchecked or not selected, you can use isSelected() method for the checkbox element. This isSelected() method returns a boolean value ,if the checkbox is checked it returns true if not returns false.
isSelected()
Determine whether or not this element is checked or not. This operation only applies to input elements such as checkboxes, options in a select and radio buttons.It returns boolean if checkbox or radio button is selected or checked.
Example Code:
boolean checkedStatus = driver.findElement(By.id("name")).isSelected();
System.out.println("The checkbox is selection state is - " + checkedStatus.isSelected());
Check a checkbox if Unchecked
public static void isElementSelected(WebDriver driver) {
if (locatorType.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")) {
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("checkbox"));
if (element.isSelected() == true) {
Reporting.testPassLogs(desc + " is selected ");
System.out.println("Checkbox is already selected");
} else {
System.out.println("Checkbox is not selected");
}
}
