I'm new to xpath, so please forgive me. I have multiple autocompletes that use tokens. I'm trying to select child <p> based on text Some Text 1 from parent div.title=title and get the sibling span.remove-token.
Example
<div title="title">
<ul class="token-list">
<li class="input-token"
<p>Some Text 1</p>
<span class="remove-token">x</span>
</li>
<li class="input-token"
<p>Some Text 2</p>
<span class="remove-token">x</span>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
What I've attempted
String path = "//div[contains(@title, 'title')]/p[text()="Some Text 1"]/following-sibling::span]";

A Sibling in Selenium Webdriver is a function used to fetch a web element which is a sibling to the parent element. If the parent element is known then the web element can be easily found or located that can use the sibling attribute of the Xpath expression in selenium webdriver.
We can use the concept of following-sibling in xpath for identifying elements in Selenium. It identifies the siblings of the context node. The siblings should be located at the equal level of the existing node and should have the same parent.
To traverse to the next sibling, we have to use the following-sibling concept in xpath. This will allow us to traverse to the next sibling from the present sibling of the same parent. Let us try to move from the first child<h1> of parent <div> to the second <h2> as in the above image.
Use:
//div[@title = 'title']//li/p[. = 'Some Text 1']/following-sibling::span[1]
Try
//div[contains(@title,'title')]//p[text()="Some Text 1"]/following-sibling::span
There were two tiny mistakes:
] at the end of the expressionp element is not a direct child of the div, so you must search all descendants
