116. Using check command to select a checkbox option

We can select a check box option using the Selenium RC command check.

How the check command works in the following two cases:

• check command will select the check box option if it is not selected already.
• check command wont do any changes to the check box option if it is already selected.

Test Description:

After going through the test description its very clear that, we have to locate the Checkbox1, Checkbox2 and Checkbox3 using CSS path and select the checkbox options using  check Selenium RC command.

Lets Implement the Test on Eclipse IDE:

Pre-requisites:

1. Create a new Project say 'RC-Project32' in Eclipse IDE
2. Configure the Project to work with Selenium RC
3. Configure the Selenium Standalone Server to run from Eclipse IDE
4. Create a package say 'package32' under the newly created project.
5. Create a Java Class file say 'Class32' under the newly created package as shown below: 

Actual Steps:

1. Write the following code into the newly created Java Class file as shown below and make sure that you resolve all the errors before going to next step:

2. Write the test method 'checkCheckBoxOptions()' which uses CSS Path Statements for locating the Check box options as shown below:

3. Start the Selenium Standalone Server
4. Save and Run the 'Class32.java' file by selecting the 'JUnit Test' option and ensure that our Automation Test has selected all the three checkbox options 'checkbox1', 'checkbox2' and 'checkbox3' as shown in the below video:
