I am using the following code for POM :

@FindBy(xpath="[@value='Send query']") private WebElement queryButton;

I am getting this error

org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression [@value='Send query'] because of the following error: SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '[@value='Send query']' is not a valid XPath expression.

    The acronym "POM" already has a meaning in the Java world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Maven#Project_Object_Model Please do not confuse it with Page Object Model! – SiKing Feb 26 '18 at 23:58
  • If people start referring to POM as "POP" I'm probably not going to know what they're talking about. – Bill Hileman Feb 27 '18 at 15:15

The error "invalid selector" is pretty explanatory: [@value='Send query'] is not a valid XPath.

You probably meant //*[@value='Send query'].
