Find button using associated text in selenium

Question

I have button details like below.

<button type="button" class="add-to-cart button primary-button false item-action-button">
          Add to Cart
        </button>

And xpath is /html/body/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div[1]/button

How do I click on the button?

I tried using this find_element_by_xpath('/button[contains(text(), "Add to Cart")]')

But it doesn't work. I don't want to just do .click() on given xpath. Is there way to click by finding text?

I am automating using python

/ Selects from the root node

// Selects nodes in the document from the current node that match the selection doesn't matter where they are

find_element_by_xpath('/button[contains(text(), "Add to Cart")]')

Since you are selecting from current node use

find_element_by_xpath('//button[contains(text(), "Add to Cart")]')

Hope this helps you...Kindly get back if there are any issues

Try this one

link = driver.find_element_by_link_text(' Add to Cart')
link.click()

if still it does not works then go to the source of page you will see a Iframe you need to first switch into it
