Finding Xpath Selenium

I have the following element:

<div class="PickList visible" 
 widgetid="Palette" id="Palette">
 <span class="stuff">
 <span class="stuff"><span class="lbl">A-B</span><span class="no">1111</span> 
 </span>
 <span class="stuffSelect"><span class="lblSelect">C</span><span 
  class="plu">2222</span></span>

The xpath that I am using is: 

Driver.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id="Palette"]//span//span[2]//span[contains(text(),'C')]"));

It's still not able to pickup the letter 'C'.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the xpath. Consider the class visible in your xpath or css. As this denotes that this div might be not visible sometimes. So always be sure to use the visible if you have it as part of the class.

CSS

div.PickList.visible span.lblSelect

xpath

//div[@class='PickList visible']//span[@class='lblSelect']

Please try the below Xpath.It will print you 'C'

driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[@id='Palette']//span[1]//span[2]/span)[1]")).getText()

you can try below xpath to track from div.

driver.findElement("//*[@id='Palette']/span[2][@class='stuffSelect']/span[1][contains(text(), 'C')]");

xpath you are using is incorrect. I am providing you with the correct xpath or you can directly fetch it using the className as well.

Updated xpath as per the discussion:

WebElement selectedCharacter = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='Palette']//span[@class='lblSelect']"));
selectedCharacter.getText();

By using className:

WebElement selectedCharacter = driver.findElement(By.className("lblSelect"));
selectedCharacter.getText();
