How can I check if checkbox is checked with Protractor, CucumberJS and Chai ?

var el = 'myCheckbox';

this.expect(element(by.model(el)).to.have.prop("checked", true));

isSelected() would do that:

this.expect(element(by.model(el)).isSelected()).to.eventually.be.true;

  • I tried with this.expect(element(by.model(el)).isSelected()).to.be.true; but it's doesn't work – Jérémie Chazelle Dec 03 '15 at 16:07

  • @JérémieChazelle are you using [Chai as Promised](http://chaijs.com/plugins/chai-as-promised)? – alecxe Dec 03 '15 at 16:17
  • I use element(by.model(el)), yes chai and chai-as-promised – Jérémie Chazelle Dec 03 '15 at 16:33

    @JérémieChazelle okay, I think you need to use `eventually` since this is a promise returned by `isSelected`. Updated, check it out. Thanks. – alecxe Dec 03 '15 at 17:11

    I had a problem with isSelected(), and it turned out my element selector was NOT actually grabbing the input checkbox element, so thats something you need to be 100% certain of. (i was using checkboxes underneath a checkbox-list directive) – BrettJ Dec 03 '15 at 18:37

You should use this.expect(element(by.model(el)).isSelected()).to.eventually.be(true);

  • why should be it falsy? Shouldn't it be truthy ? – harsh hundiwala Aug 23 '18 at 14:29

I have tried with the following code and it passed.

expect(element(by.css("")).get(i).isSelected()).toBeFalsy();

where, i corresponds to which checkbox needs to be tested
