How can i check the checkbox in cucumber scenario?

I have the html source:

<ul>
  <li>
    <input checked="checked" class="chb_tester" id="user_role_ids_" name="user[role_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="1" />
    <span class="role_item_text">T开发者_开发百科ester</span>
  </li>
</ul>

How can i check this checkbox in my cucumber scenario?

If you're using Capybara and RSpec:

To check it:

check('#user_role_ids_')

To verify that it's checked:

find('#user_role_ids_').should be_checked

---

#used to check that a checkbox is checked

Then /^the "([^"]*)" checkbox should be checked$/ do |id|
  find_field(id)[:value].should eq "true" 
end

And use it for Uncheck also by making assertion as false

---

Another way to check your checkbox is:

# When I select checkbox "report_type_summary"
When(/^I select checkbox "(.*?)"$/) do |cb|
  check(cb)
end

You can only select a checkbox name which is used for finding and checking the element. You can check this article for more details.
