So I'm trying to automate testing with selenium, and need to see if a check box is checked for a specific user. The page looks like this.

The first user's checkbox is not checked, and the second is. So, when checked there's a checkbox="checked" attribute that isn't there when not checked. I'm not sure how I would format it so that I'm able to specifically look at the box of the one that I'm looking for. I tried (//input[contains(@name='user_5166855' and @checked='checked')]) but it didn't seem to work.

Try below XPath to select

• 
  

  checked one

  
  
  

  //input[@name="user_5166855" and @checked]
  
  

  
  


• 
  

  unchecked

  
  
  

  //input[@name="user_5166855" and not(@checked)]
  
  

  
  

Note that checked is boolean attribute, so there is no need to verify the value of attribute - verifying existence should be enough

So, you already have an Xpath for your second user all u need to do is:

    public boolean IsCheckBoxChecked()

{

    try

    {

    driver.findElement(By.name("//input[contains(@name='user_5166855' and @checked='checked')]")).getAttribute("checked")

    }

    catch

    {

    false

    }

}

So what u r doing here u find your element, in try block then your test is going to pass, if there is no such attribute for element(checkbox unchecked), then its will return false and assertion failed.
