Which Cypress assertion correctly verifies that a checkbox input is checked by inspecting its checked property?
Acy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('be.checked')
Bcy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('have.attr', 'checked', 'true')
Ccy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('have.value', 'checked')
Dcy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('have.attr', 'checked')
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand checkbox checked state

    The checked property reflects whether the checkbox is selected.
  2. Step 2: Correct Cypress assertion

    should('be.checked') asserts the checkbox is checked by property, not attribute.
  3. Step 3: Why other options are incorrect

    cy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('have.attr', 'checked', 'true') checks attribute 'checked' equals 'true' which is unreliable since 'checked' attribute presence matters, not its value. cy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('have.value', 'checked') incorrectly checks value property. cy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('have.attr', 'checked') checks attribute presence but not property state.
  4. Final Answer:

    cy.get('input[type="checkbox"]').should('be.checked') -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    Use be.checked for checkbox state [OK]
Quick Trick: Use 'be.checked' to assert checkbox state [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Checking 'checked' attribute instead of property
  • Using 'have.value' to check checkbox state
  • Assuming 'checked' attribute value is 'true'
