Hello alltogether,
a tiny question, how to use XPath with contains text?
I tried for my SAP UI5 test
//span[contains(text(),'Shopping Card')]
but it doesn’t work.
Here my log

I tried different commands but all without success.

So I tried the same in PowerShell with Selenium and here it works without any problems (line 109).
What is my error? Why can’t I find this element?
Thanks for tips and hints.
Cheers
Stefan
