Selenium Python Checkbox Click

I am trying to access the following HTML checkbox for a button click:

<input type="checkbox" data-ng-value="sf.name" data-ng-model="sf.checked" ng-click="ec.onStateFilterChanged(sf)" title="Select a state" class="ng-untouched ng-valid ng-dirty ng-valid-parse" value="Arizona">

using:

state = driver.find_element_by_xpath("input[@type='checkbox']").click()

but keep getting error:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: 

what might be the element path I am looking for in order to select the checkbox?

Answer

Your xpath is most likely incorrect – you need to enter // before the element as this will find all (single slash / will work here too though as you are only trying to find one element and it will find the first match)

Try one of the following:

state = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@type='checkbox']").click()

OR

state = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type='checkbox']").click()
