How to write the script for the check box in Selenium web driver by using Java

This is the button that I want to clicked. I want to check this button by writing automation scripts in selenium web driver by using Java.

The following is the code for the button. 

<label class="toggle" style="font-size:13px">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-IsEFR" id="checkbox-IsEFR">
<i data-swchon-text="Yes" data-swchoff-text="No"></i>Is Enable for Rules
</label>

Please help me since I am new to automation scripts writing. I wrote the script for check box but it is not working. The following, I have attached the my scripts and the error generated.

@When("^clicks on enable for rules$")
    public void clicks_on_enable_for_rules() throws Throwable {
        driver.findElement(By.name("checkbox-IsEFR")).click();
    }

The error that I received.

You can search by xpath in Selenium, using something like:

driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[contains(text(), 'Is Enable for Rules')]").click()

The Error is : "ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with.."

There may be multiple reason of occurring this error but the strongest possibility is that:

The element is not loaded on the page and your code is trying to click it. To handle this you can put wait statement in your code. A global wait can be imposed by putting implicit wait driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5000L, TimeUnit.SECONDS); or you can try putting explicit wait statement before performing the click activity.

Try the solution and I think it'll resolve your issue.

You can use explicit wait and ExpectedConditions to wait for the checkbox to be visible

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("checkbox-IsEFR"))).click();

This will wait up to 10 seconds for the element to be visible before clicking on it.
