Check checkbox (check)

Check checkbox (check)

Checks the Target checkbox. If it is already checked, the step stays valid for typical Playwright check behavior.

Step model

action_namecheck
GroupInput
TargetRequired
ValueUnused
expected_valueUnused
TEST_ACCOUNTForbidden
Do not confuse withuncheck, click

Target/Value facts match the source-of-truth catalog and Autotest step.

Prerequisites

  1. Target is a checkbox or a compatible control.

Steps

  1. Add a check step.
  2. Set the checkbox Target.
  3. Leave Value empty.
  4. Save.

The step is stored on the autotest. Next - neighbouring steps or autotest run creation.

Examples

Fields in the UI:

FieldValue
action_namecheck
Targetkind LABEL, value I agree

Step JSON fragment (copy-paste):

json
{
  "action_name": "check",
  "target": {
    "kind": "LABEL",
    "value": "I agree"
  }
}

Common mistakes

  • Do not use click on a checkbox when you need an explicit on-state - use check.
