Why am I getting errors with the “Check/Uncheck” command?

The "Check/Uncheck" command can only be used on input elements with the type attribute "checkbox".  If it is applied to a different element, you will see the error message Cannot find a UI element for this command <error details>.

To fix this, follow one of the two following methods:

1. Search for an input element with the type attribute "checkbox"
2. Change to Click command

1. Search for an input element with the type attribute "checkbox"

• The <error details> might display a message like Possible candidate is {key=***, value=***}, providing information about a suitable UI element. Use this information as a reference.
• Temporarily hide the currently specified UI element (see figure below) to check for other suitable input elements.

• Use developer tools to inspect the element type. An input element has the following characteristics:
  • UI element name: "***" checkbox
  •  Locator:
    • CSS: Starts with "input". Example: css=input[name=***]
    • XPath: Ends with "input". Example: xpath=//***/input[1]

If a suitable UI element is found, specify it for the "Check/Uncheck" command.

2. Change to Click command

If no suitable UI element is found, you cannot use the "Check/Uncheck" command for that checkbox. Instead, use the Click command.

By following these steps, you can resolve the error and correctly interact with checkboxes in your UI tests.
