Selenium AssertText

I want to assert that a string of text is present on a page before moving on and am having trouble.

I am using Selenium Webdriver with Java. Here is the code I've tried:

String str2 = driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00$MainContent$cklRepair$10")).getText();
Assert.assertTrue(str2.contains("text"), "Lubrication");

and

boolean textFound = true;
try {
    driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00_MainContent_cklRepair_10"));
    textFound = true;
}catch (Exception e) {
    textFound = false;
}

I want to validate that Lubrication exists.

HTML:

 <span class="label"> 
    <input id="ctl00_MainContent_cklRepair_10" type="checkbox" value="Lubrication,600" onclick "javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$MainContent$cklRepair$10\',\'\')', 0)" name="ctl00$MainContent$cklRepair$10"> 
        <label for="ctl00_MainContent_cklRepair_10">Lubrication</label>

str2 already returns the string to compare with whereas contains() does a search if the str2 contains the Lubrication text.

Assert.assertTrue(str2.contains("Lubrication"));

And, just looked at the selector and looks the selector you are using is not returning the text. You can use the following xpath instead

//input[contains(@id,'MainContent_cklRepair')]//..//label

The complete code block should look like:

By byXpath = By.xpath)("//input[contains(@id,'MainContent_cklRepair')]//..//label");
String str2 = driver.findElement(byXpath).getText();
Assert.assertTrue(str2.contains("Lubrication"));
