Minimal Reproducible Example

from shiny import App, ui
app_ui = ui.page_fluid(
    ui.input_checkbox_group(
        "parameters",
        "Parameters",
        choices={"A": "a", "B": "b", "C": "c", "D": "d"},
        selected=["A"],
        inline=True,
    ),
)
def server(input, output, session):
    pass
app = App(app_ui, server)

## test_checkboxgroup.py
from playwright.sync_api import Page
from shiny.playwright import controller
from shiny.run import ShinyAppProc

def test_cbg_works(page: Page, local_app: ShinyAppProc):
    page.goto(local_app.url)
    input_control = controller.InputCheckboxGroup(page, "parameters")
    input_control.expect_selected(["A"])

def test_cbg_works_with_values_in_same_order(page: Page, local_app: ShinyAppProc):
    page.goto(local_app.url)
    input_control = controller.InputCheckboxGroup(page, "parameters")
    input_control.set(["B", "C"])  # works
    input_control.expect_selected(["B", "C"])  # works

def test_cbg_works_with_values_in_different_order(page: Page, local_app: ShinyAppProc):
    page.goto(local_app.url)
    input_control = controller.InputCheckboxGroup(page, "parameters")
    input_control.set(["B", "A"])  # works
    input_control.expect_selected(["B", "A"])  # does not work

Behavior

Current: Verifying selected checkboxes in a InputCheckboxGroup fails if the list of values is not in the same order as in the checkbox definition.
Expected: Regardless of ordering, the .expect_selected() method should verify and assert that the checkboxes are selected.
