A way of selecting the next xpath element

Question

How can i switch to the next element from a table using python and selenium. I have a website with a table that looks like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZYwKU.png I managed to identify and click on the element from the first column. Next, i want to select the element from second column which can have any value instead of "true".

I tried using Xpath Axes but i did not succed:

#find element 
find_elem = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//*[contains(text(), 
'httpGzipActive')]")))
time.sleep(2)
find_elem.click()
time.sleep(2)

#here im trying to switch to the next element, which is Value column
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[* = 'data-cell-index']/following-sibling::data- 
cell-index").click()

To be applied to the following xhtml fragment (contents of the style attribute intentionally omitted):

<div data-cell-index="0" style="..."></div>
<div data-cell-index="0" style="...">httpGzipActive</div>
<div data-cell-index="1" style="..."></div>
<div data-cell-index="1" style="...">true</div>

Answer 1

The following xpath matches the sibling nodes carrying the data-cell-index attibute.

//div[@data-cell-index]/following-sibling::*[@data-cell-index]

Attributes are referenced by an @ prefixed to their names. An axis like following-sibling asks for an element spec. Here it is the wildcard * but you could use div according to your fragment.

From your description you might actually want to change your code as follows:

find_elem.find_elements (By.XPATH, "./(following-sibling::*[@data-cell-index])[2]").click()

Your target node is not the immediate sibling successor carrying the data-cell-index attribute but the one after.
