Selenium, ensure that all the checkbox are checked

I'm using Selenium to test action on a html page. The one i'm working on contains multiple list of check box. My selenium script do the following actions : -Click on the dropdown list to display the check box list

-Click on all the check box

-Click on the dropdown list to close the check box list

-Repeat for the next list

The problem is that somtimes the script goes too fast for the browser and some box are not checked, it happens really often since i make multiple test To resolve my problem i tried to make a method that check if the checkbox is checked, if not then i click again but it's not working and it increases the time of my test. Here my code so far :

    public void clickClearanceListBox(int numberInList) throws InterruptedException {
    int iteration = countTheNumberOfElement("//div[5]/div["+numberInList+"]/div[2]");

    for(int i = 1; i <= iteration; i++) {
        String xpathBox ="//div["+numberInList+"]/div[2]/div["+i+"]/div/div/label/span/span[2]";//xpath de la checkbox
        String xpathInput = "//div["+numberInList+"]/div[2]/div["+i+"]/div/div/label/input";

        clickTheDOMbyJs(xpathBox);

        while(!checkBoxChecked(xpathInput)) {
            Thread.sleep(200);
            clickTheDOMbyJs(xpathBox);
        }
    }
}

Or :

    public void clickClearanceListBox(int numberInList) throws InterruptedException {
    int iteration = countTheNumberOfElement("//div[5]/div["+numberInList+"]/div[2]");

    for(int i = 1; i <= iteration; i++) {
        String xpathBox ="//div["+numberInList+"]/div[2]/div["+i+"]/div/div/label/span/span[2]";//xpath de la checkbox
        String xpathInput = "//div["+numberInList+"]/div[2]/div["+i+"]/div/div/label/input";

        clickTheDOMbyJs(xpathBox);

        while(!checkBoxChecked(xpathInput)) {
            Thread.sleep(200);
        }
    }
}

I manage to do it by checking if the attribute "value" of my checkbox has the value "true". While the attribute value is false, it means that the checkbox is still not checked for the browser so i wait... This extremly slow but at least it's working everytime. After the script clicked on the checkbox i do this :

while(!getAnElementAttribute(xpathInput, "value").equals("true")) {

}

It looks like you need to use WebDriverWait in here. First, wait for the dropdown list to load completely, then wait for the checkbox to be visible.

A word of warning to you though. These xpaths are likely to be very brittle, and your tests will break quite easily. You should consider finding these various elements using ids, classes, or other attributes.
