Just looks like you almost had it with your last try.

This should work though:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button//span[text()='Log in']")).click();

When you use contains you should have a comma not an equals after the @class. Your own path would've worked in that case:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(@class,'button--primary button button--icon button--icon--login')]")).click();
