Ranorex Forum

Hi everybody . i hope somebody can help me to figure it out. we are changing design for our application. And for some reason we have now custom checkboxes. What are not a real checkboxes in a code. It is usually a label element.
If it is clicked it gets " ::before"
if it is unclicked - it doesn't have " ::before "

this ::before is not visible for Ranorex. At least i can not find it. i made a snapshot. but i am not sure that i will help.

i my tests i very often use " set value "checked" to true " or validate that " checked" is true/false .
Maybe you have any idea how to work with this now ?
how for example to validate a status (checked /unchecked) for this element?
Thank you

Hi,

Why don’t you track the Input element instead? From the HTML code it looks like if the input has “checked” option? The “before” string you are pointing at is from checkbox label and not from checkbox itself?

because it is not always working(( . Sometimes Ranorex complains that item is not visible

Hi,

Could you please post exact error (entire report) you are getting? And full xpath as you are using it in repository?

I think you might just add WaitForDocumentLoaded before accessing the checkbox. Eventually, add @visible=“true” to the xpath.
