Assert if a checkbox is checked [#339406]

I've been trying to test if checkbox is checked using assertFieldByXPath and looks like it is impossible to use the assertFieldBy... methods for this. When I'm trying to use 0 value for assertion - assertFieldByXPath just skips the whole checking for value b/c of "if ($value)".

I'm using this code in my test:

  $this->assertFieldById('checkbox-id', 0, 'Checkbox is not selected');

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Sounds like assertFieldBy... needs to do something better like != NULL.

That should be fixed in D7 core and backported.

assertFieldBy* checks for the value attribute, but there is no way to check if a checkbox is checked.

Attached a patch that adds assertFieldChecked() and assertNoFieldChecked() to DrupalWebTestCase. The new methods are used in locale.test, where the same xpath approach is being used.
