how to check whether the check box is checked or not

Answer 1

There are multiple ways depending on exactly what you're trying to do - if you've already found the element and just want to know whether or not it's checked you can do something like

element = find('#yes_1212') ... element.checked? 

If you're trying to assert that the box is on the page and is checked/unchecked you could do

expect(page).to have_field('yes_1212', checked: true) # checked: false or unchecked: true for not checked 

or

expect(page).to have_checked_field('yes_1212')  # or have_unchecked_field 

If you want a boolean response and don't already have a reference to the element

page.has_field?('allow__100', unchecked: true) page.has_unchecked_field?('allow_100') 

In all cases if the input element is actually non-visible for styling reasons you can pass visible: false
