check true

Check checkbox(es) or radio(s).

Syntax

.check()
.check(value)
.check(values)
.check(options)
.check(value, options)
.check(values, options)

Usage

.check() requires being chained off another cy command that yields a DOM element of type checkbox or radio.

{% fa fa-check-circle green %} Valid Usage

cy.get('[type="checkbox"]').check()       // Check checkbox element
cy.get('[type="radio"]').first().check()  // Check first radio element

{% fa fa-exclamation-triangle red %} Invalid Usage

cy.check('[type="checkbox"]') // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.get('p:first').check()     // Errors, '.get()' does not yield checkbox or radio

Arguments

{% fa fa-angle-right %} value (String)

Value of checkbox or radio that should be checked.

{% fa fa-angle-right %} values (Array)

Values of checkboxes or radios that should be checked.

{% fa fa-angle-right %} options (Object)

Pass in an options object to change the default behavior of .check().

Option Default Notes
force false Forces check, disables error checking prior to check
interval 16 Interval which to retry a check
log true Whether to display command in Command Log
timeout defaultCommandTimeout Total time to retry the check

Yields

.check() yields the DOM element(s) that were checked.

Timeout

.check will retry for the duration of the defaultCommandTimeout or the duration of the timeout specified in the command's options.

Examples

Check

Check all checkboxes

cy.get('[type="checkbox"]').check()

Check all radios

cy.get('[type="radio"]').check()

Check the element with id of 'saveUserName'

cy.get('#saveUserName').check()

Value

Select the radio with the value of 'US'

cy.get('[type="radio"]').check('US')

Values

Check the checkboxes with the values 'ga' and 'ca'

cy.get('[type="checkbox"]').check(['ga', 'ca'])

Options

Check an invisible checkbox

You can ignore Cypress' default behavior of checking that the element is visible, clickable and not disabled by setting force to true in the options.

cy.get('.action-checkboxes').should('not.be.visible') // Passes
  .check({ force: true }).should('be.checked')        // Passes

Command Log

check the element with name of 'emailUser'

cy.get('form').find('[name="emailUser"]').check()

The commands above will display in the command log as:
