I tried the below XPath..on html page its showing the element but when putting on selenium code it's showing the error invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression

//div[@id='CardInstance1wPgwM8pHmoJmdnyjYOeWg']//child::div[2]//div[1]//div[1]//div[1]//div[2]//div[@class='a-section a-spacing-none a-spacing-top-small s-title-instructions-style']//span

Please help me to find xpath for first searched product.

Thanks in Advance.

You can directly use

//li[starts-with(@class,'octopus-pc-item')]

this does have 26 entries and is not unique in HTML, however, findElement will return the first matching node.

Furthermore, you can do indexing like below

(//li[starts-with(@class,'octopus-pc-item')])[1]

and [2] for the second product and so on... for other products

Perform click like below

1. Using ExplicitWaits

   wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(30));
   wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//li[starts-with(@class,'octopus-pc-item')]"))).click();
   

2. Using findElement

   Thread.sleep(3000);
   driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//li[starts-with(@class,'octopus-pc-item')])[1]")).click();
