How to check if a label is bold with Selenium WebDriver using Java?

Question

Please find below the sample HTML code:

<div class="form-element email-address" id="gmail-address-form-element">
  <label id="gmail-address-label">
  <strong>
  Choose your username
  </strong>
  <input type="text" maxlength="30" autocomplete="off"  
  name="GmailAddress" id="GmailAddress" value=""
spellcheck="false">
  <span class="atgmail">@gmail.com</span>
  </label>

I need to verify "Choose your username" label is bold with Selenium WebDriver. Appreciate if the language used is java.

You could just check for the `STRONG` tag and make sure the text is inside. — JeffC, Jul 21 '16 at 13:49

You can use the getComputedStyle to get the style of the element.

Use font-Weight to check if it is bold or not

    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#gmail-address-label > strong"));
    String fontWeight = (String) js.
            executeScript(
                    "return getComputedStyle(arguments[0]).getPropertyValue('font-Weight');",
                    element);
    if (fontWeight.trim().equals("bold")) {
        System.out.println("Is Bold");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Not Bold - " + fontWeight);
    }

In simple way we can get the CssValue of font-weight and check if it is 'bold' or is greater than or equal to 700 or is 'bolder' .Because by all these ways the bold style can be given to the text Use following code in java

 String fontWeight = driver.findElement(By.className("classname"))
                                          .getCssValue("font-weight");

 boolean isBold = "bold".equals(fontWeight) || "bolder".equals(fontWeight) || Integer.parseInt(fontWeight) >= 700;

Hope it will help.
