Checking a checkbox failed because: 'bool' object has no attribute 'is_selected'

[Lew Funk]

New Lettuce/Python user, it's pretty cool.

I'm messing around, trying to write a test that checks a checkbox on a page, but though the object is recognized the test fails with the following output: 

    And I check "apartment"                                                          # usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lettuce_webdriver/webdriver.py:311

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lettuce/core.py", line 144, in __call__

        ret = self.function(self.step, *args, **kw)

      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lettuce_webdriver/webdriver.py", line 315, in check_checkbox

        check_box.click()

      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lettuce_webdriver/webdriver.py", line 314, in check_checkbox

        if not check_box.is_selected():

    AssertionError: And I check "apartment", failed because: 'bool' object has no attribute 'is_selected'

I'd appreciate any direct answers, hints or direction to helpful material. 

Thanks

I think it should be slected 

Which version of lettuce you are using?

Please share your code.

Lew - It looks like you're trying to check if a non-DOM object is visible. Try checking the definition of your variable 'check_box' - it looks 'check_box' is true or false instead of an element in the DOM.

*correction - checking to see if it is selected, not visible.
