How do you check that a checkbox is checked?

✓Correct answer: expect(screen.getByRole("checkbox", { name: "Agree" })).toBeChecked()
2expect(checkbox.checked).toBe("true")
3expect(checkbox).toHaveAttribute("checked")

Explanation

The checked attribute reflects only the initial state; toBeChecked checks the current state and also works with aria-checked.
