XPath for text is not working

Question

I want to locate label by using its text property.

I tried

//label[normalize-space(text())='Only allow resources who are']
//label[contains(normalize-space(text()),'Only allow resources who are')]

But none of them work.

This XPath,

//label[normalize-space()='Only allow resources who are']

will select all label elements whose space-normalized string value is the targeted text.

The `.` inside `normalize-space()` works but shouldn't be necessary. – kjhughes Dec 13 '17 at 20:51
got it. Thank you kjhughes. – Rameshwar Dec 14 '17 at 15:58
