How to click on the checkbox using Selenium Javascript and Xpath?

Question

I am trying to target the checkbox to agree to the terms and conditions but have no name or id to use to target. I have innerHTML and innerText that I am trying to target with selenium but am only encountering errors. I am using Javascript and testing on chrome.

Code trial:

await driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*innerText[text()=’I am at least 18 years of age and agree to the Official Rules.’]")).click();

Error:

let err = new ctor(data.message)
              ^

InvalidSelectorError: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //innerText[text()=’I am at least 18 years of age and agree to the Official 
Rules.’] because of the following error:
SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '//innerText[text()=’I am at least 18 years of age and agree to the Official Rules.’]' is not a valid 
XPath expression.

Solution

To click on the checkbox associated with the text "I am at least 18 years of age and agree to the Official Rules" you can use the following locator strategy:

await driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@for='opt_rules']")).click();
