Using Selenium and Chrome, I'm attempting to check a box located within a table. The table contains 2 checkboxes but they act as radio buttons, in that if I click one, the other will uncheck.

I've tried a variety of methods, which include the following:

Const CHECKED_STATE As String = "Ag-icon ag-icon-checkbox-checked" findElementByClassName("ag-selection-checkbox").fireEvent("CHECKED_STATE") findElementbyXPath("//span[@class=ag-icon ag-icon-checkbox-checked'])[1]").Click findElementbyXPath(".//div[@class='ag-body-container']").Click

I'm not sure how to click the checkbox when the HTML code doesn't even have a checkbox type or an Id.

The HTML reads:

 <span class="ag-icon-checkbox"> <span class = "ag-icon ag-icon checkbox-checked ag-hidden"> <span class = "ag-icon ag-icon checkbox-unchecked"> <span class = "ag-icon ag-icon checkbox-undeterminate ag-hidden"></span>

When I click on the checkbox, the unchecked and hidden lines of HTML will flip. So I'm guessing it's some sort of event that I have to trigger.

  • Do you need to toggle between them? Or only ever need to select the unchecked one?

The following, depending on the rest of the html, should work to select the unchecked item and thereby toggle off the other item. It targets the class checkbox-unchecked:

driver.FindElementByCss(".ag-icon-checkbox .checkbox-unchecked").click

  • I tried both with "ag-icon-checkbox" and "ag-icon ag-icon checkbox-unchecked" and it's throwing a "NoSuchElementError Element not found for Css=ag-selection-checkbox".

    Is your element inside a parent frame/iframe tag?

  • yes, it appears so since I can see <iframe title="Application content" class... That's an option I'm looking into since I just found a question related to reCaptcha stating that I have to make the element clickable. This isn't a reCaptcha. It's just a table.

  • Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out now. I'm unsure of what the iframe name is.
