Xpath: select div that contains class AND whose specific child element contains text

Andrejs Published at Dev

With the help of this SO question I have an almost working xpath:

//div[contains(@class, 'measure-tab') and contains(., 'someText')]

However this gets two divs: in one it's the child td that has someText, the other it's child span.

How do I narrow it down to the one with the span?

<div class="measure-tab">
  <!-- table html omitted -->
  <td> someText</td>
</div>

<div class="measure-tab">  <-- I want to select this div (and use contains @class)
  <div>
    <span> someText</span>  <-- that contains a deeply nested span with this text
  </div>
</div>
nwellnhof

To find a div of a certain class that contains a span at any depth containing certain text, try:

//div[contains(@class, 'measure-tab') and contains(.//span, 'someText')]

That said, this solution looks extremely fragile. If the table happens to contain a span with the text you're looking for, the div containing the table will be matched, too. I'd suggest to find a more robust way of filtering the elements. For example by using IDs or top-level document structure.
