XPath expression for element based on containing text - xpath

Question

I'm running out of ideas. I have identified for my Selenium test an div based on its text ("security administrator ") contained. Unfortunately, the div contains two other divs. See the example.
<div class="rich-stglpanel-marker">
<div class="rich-stglpnl-marker" id="j_id194:j_id198:2:j_id199_switch_on" style="display: none"></div>
<div class="rich-stglpnl-marker" id="j_id194:j_id198:2:j_id199_switch_off"></div>
security administrator
</div>
<div class="rich-stglpanel-marker">
<div class="rich-stglpnl-marker" id="j_id194:j_id198:2:j_id199_switch_on" style="display: none"></div>
<div class="rich-stglpnl-marker" id="j_id194:j_id198:2:j_id199_switch_off"></div>
technical administrator
</div>
... and so on
I tried that expressions:
//div[text()='security administrator']
//div[text()='security administrator ']
//div[text()='security administrator ']
//div[text()='security administrator${nbsp}'] (this is a special hack from selenium)
Nothing works. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Can you try with this :
//div[contains(.,'security administrator')]
System.out.println(driver.findElementByXPath("//div[contains(.,'security adm')]").getText())
gave me security administrator

Answer 2

try this
//div[#class='rich-stglpanel-marker']

Answer 3

Try this: //div[#class='rich-stglpanel-marker' and text()!='']
EDIT
Finally got it!
Use this: //div[#class='rich-stglpanel-marker' and normalize-space(div[last()]/following-sibling::text())='security administrator']
I believe that in this situation, the text "security administrator" is counted as a node, and not as the sole text value of the first div node, which is why //div/text() will give you multiple return lines followed by the text you're searching for, and also why you cannot apply something like normalize-space(),translate(), or even contains() to div/text() and receive results. But, since the text node doesn't have a name, that makes it a funky XPath to figure out, so navigating to the closest possible sibling node was the only option I could think of.
