in above expression

xpath = //span[@class='cat-name'][n]

xpath = //span[@class='cat-name'][6]

[] has a higher priority than //.

The above expression selects every input element with @class='cat-name', which is the 6th child of its parent -- and apparently the parents of input elements in the document that is not shown don't have so many input children.

Use (note the brackets):

xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[6]

This selects the 6th element input in the document that satisfies the conditions in the predicate.

So you can use below for all six location: In your question use only first one and it will work :

  xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[1]
    xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[2]
    xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[3]
    xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[4]
    xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[5]
    xpath = (//span[@class='cat-name'])[6]

From what you have provided,

xpath = //span[@class='cat-name'][n]

Where n can be given values from 1 to 6, which locates the corresponding element.

or

xpath = //span[contains(.,'Tanzanite Pendant')]
