[FIXED] How to click an element that contains visible text and is clickable with Selenium with Python

Issue

The element to be clicked based ONLY on the text it contains (others):

<a class="blah" href="/some_page/"><span>15</span> others</a>

The item that fails:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(), ' others')]").click()

The error:

NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[contains(text(), 'others')]"}

Solution

An additional alternative from DebanjanB's answer using a different xpath inspired from XPath contains(text(),'some string') doesn't work when used with node with more than one Text subnode

"//*[text()[contains(.,' others')]]"
