[FIXED] Why is XPath counting the wrong number of substrings?

Issue

I am trying to count the number of times a element with a partial text of "25516.B1-" appears on the page.

Right now I am trying this. However it returns 17 even though there are only 3 instances of the element on the page.

Count 3 basiskerntaken
${count}=  Get Element Count   //*[contains(.,"25516.B1-")]
Log To Console  ${count}

Solution

I fixed it by doing the following

${count}=  Get Element Count     //td[contains(text(),'25516.B1-')]
Should Be Equal As Integers     ${count}    3

This returns 3 elements and passed the test.

Thanks for all the answers!
