I am using Selenium and Java to write a test.

What is the difference between

List<WebElement> wes = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.
        visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath("//span[not(text()='a')]")));

and

List<WebElement> wes = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.
        visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath("//span[text()!='a']")));

The first one throws error saying that it found nothing while the bottom one brings me all spans whose text is not 'a'.

Who says there is any? This would be fairly simple to test yourself.... – Nathan Tuggy Dec 01 '15 at 00:45
