How to write XPATH for the below span class element in Selenium?

<span class ="menu-item-text">
<span class ="menu-text">Selenium</span>
</span>

Answer 1

You can get the text "Selenium" by using the xpath:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class='menu-text']"));
String elementText = element.getText();

However, you can also fetch the text by using the classname in this case like:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("menu-text"));
String elementText = element.getText();
