This is the code that I currently have:
<div>
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<section>
<span name="merchant">ABZ</span>
</section>
<section>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil" name="edit"></span>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove" name="delete"></span>
</section>
</li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
</ul>
<div class="add-item bottom" name="new-merchant">
</div>
I have tried the following:
xpath=//span[contains(.,'ABZ')]/following-sibling::section/span[@name='edit']
xpath=//span[contains(.,'ABZ')]/following-sibling::span[1]
I am using selenium, and I want it to click on the edit button that is right after the ABZ span.

Example #1 xpath("//a[contains(text()," + "'Second Window. ')]/parent::div//following-sibling::div[@class='cca']//a")); Here, the Firefox driver is invoked after the WebDriver API class 'Firefox Driver' is instantiated. The WebDriver object is then used to call and load the URL under test.
Select all A sibling elements that precede the context node. > Select all A sibling elements that follow the context node. > Select all sibling elements that precede the context node. > Select the first preceding sibling element named A in reverse document order.
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.
Adding to the answer above, both the expressions below will work well.
//span[contains(text(), 'ABZ')]/following::section/span[@name='edit']
OR
//span[contains(text(), 'ABZ')]/../following-sibling::section/span[@name='edit']
Notably, the axis following will pick each node following the context node while the axis following-sibling will only pick the sibling nodes to the context node.

This xpath worked for me in Chrome, using your html:
//span[contains(text(), 'ABZ')]/../following-sibling::section/span[@name='edit']
Edit
The .. means to go up a level. The .. takes the selector from span to section. Then the following-sibling finds the section after the parent section of your matching span.
Your original selector was matching span, then looking for a following-sibling to span.
