c# - Invalid XPath expression using Contains(Text())

Question

I'm getting the following error when trying to access a string in a table row by XPath.

Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '//*[@id="listView-58b3-main"]/tbody/tr/td[Contains(Text(), 'admin')]' is not a valid XPath expression.

My code is:

driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
IWebElement targetUsername = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@id="listView-58b3-main"]/tbody/tr/td[Contains(Text(), '" + vTargetAccount + "')]"));

Any clues what I might be doing wrong?

Cheers

Answer 1

XPath is case sensitive. So instead of Contains(Text()) you need to use contains(text())
