How to mark all the checkboxes with Selenium Webdriver using Java?

Question

I want to mark all the checkboxes in a page using selenium webdriver?

How can I implement that?

Answer 1

First, assign all checkbox elements to a list.

List<WebElement> list = driver.findElements(By.Xpath("//input[type='checkbox']"));

Then, loop through the list, for example

for(WebElement el : list){
 if(!el.isChecked()) // validate Checked property, otherwise you'll uncheck!
 el.click();
}

Answer 2

List <webelement> checkboxele= driver.findelements(By..whatever property you wish, id or xpath")
for(webelement ele:checkboxele){
ele.click();
//Thread.sleep(1000); depends
}

This will click on all checkboxes in your page.

• FDM: Why would you sleep for checking checkboxes?
• Appu: if there are multiple checkboxes, sync issue can happen right?
• FDM: For a simple case like this, Selenium has in my experience never failed without sleeping.
• Appu: hmm..okay. I just added it for extra safety. Maybe, I dont have enough experience like you.
• Peter M. - stands for Monica: adding sleep for "extra safety" without understanding why or what it does is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming
