click Menu item with same ID using Selenium Python

Question

Below is my HTML snippet and code I tried. I need to Click the Integrated Consoles menu item. I tried like below, But nothing happens and no error as well. Kindly help me to select the Specific Menu Item using the text inside the tag.

driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//td[contains text(),'Integrated Consoles']").click()

HTMl sample Snippet

<td nowrap="" id="MENU_TD110">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Integrated Consoles&nbsp;</td>
<td nowrap="" id="MENU_TD110">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;System Information&nbsp;</td>
<td nowrap="" id="MENU_TD110">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;More Tools&nbsp;</td>

can you change it to .//td[contains(text(),'Integrated Consoles')] and try — NarendraR

You should use normalize-space which trims leading and trailing spaces as well as reduce in between spaces to a single space. normalize-space(text(),'Integrated Consoles'). This way your xpath will get exact text instead of text like 'Newer Integrated Consoles etc'. stackoverflow.com/questions/11776910/… — Grasshopper

Parentheses () are missing inside your contains method just enclose like below and try -

driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//td[contains(text(),'Integrated Consoles')]").click()
