How to find this element using Selenium (python)

Question

How to locate this element?

<div _ngcontent-ysj-c5>
    <div _ngcontent-ysj-c5 class="list-items unselected"> == $0
        <!---->
        " Installation "
    </div>
</div>

i have tried

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//[contains(text(),' Installation ')]").

&

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[text()=' Installation ']").click();

but it doesn't work.

include your code in your question, I've tried to do this but it is currently being checked. — DarrenRhodes

How about this:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(.,'Installation')]")

or

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[.=' Installation ']")

=)

@jaop Helpful answer but why dropping the tagName <div> from the locator?

jaop Over a year ago

it can be div instead of *, to locate div element that has value ' Installation '. In case we use *, all elements that have value ' Installation ' will match. in this case, the first matching element will be selected.

Try below locators:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[text()='Installation']")

or

driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[normalize-space()='Installation']")

@Shrini You were almost there, there is a syntax error in the xpath, an additional ) after Installation'

@DebanjanB thanks for that I just corrected it. It was a typo.
