Unchecking and Asserting a Checkbox

Uncheck a checkbox

We can uncheck an already checked checkbox by using the following script:

the_checkbox = driver.findElement(By.name("vehicle_bike"));
the_checkbox.click();
if (the_checkbox.isSelected()) {
    the_checkbox.click();
}

Assert if a checkbox is checked

We can assert whether a checkbox is checked or unchecked by the following script:

the_checkbox = driver.findElement(By.name("vehicle_bike"));      
the_checkbox.click();
driver.sleep(100);
assert(the_checkbox.isSelected());

the_checkbox.click().then(function() {
  driver.sleep(100);
  the_checkbox.isSelected().then(function(selected) {
    assert(!selected);
  });          
});
