I have the following structure (it's just for sample). In protractor, I am getting the top element by id. However, the other elements do not have id's. I need to get the "label" element that contains the text '20'. Is there an easy way in protractor to select the element with a specific tag that contains a specific text from all the descendants of a parent element?

 <pc-selector _... id="Number1">
 <div ...></div>
 <div ...>
 <div ...>
 <check-box _...>
 <div _ngcontent-c25="" ...>
 <label _ngcontent-c25="">
 <input _ngcontent-c25="" type="checkbox">
 <span _ngcontent-c25="" class="m-checkbox__marker"></span>
 20 More text to follow</label>
 </div>
 </check-box>
 </div>
 </div>
 </pc-selector>

I could't find anythitng, so I have tried with xpath, but protractor complains that my xpath is invalid:

parentElement = element(by.id('Number1'));
return parentElement.element(by.xpath(".//label[contains(text(),'20'))]"));

Any ideas?

You have an additional bracket in your [contains(text(),'20'))] which is likely causing you issue but there are multiple other ways this can be achieved using a single XPath or chaining other locators.

The process is that you must find the div with the correct id first and then locate the label that is a child of it.

//Xpath
element(by.xpath("//pc-selector[@id='Number1']//label[contains(text(),'20')]"));

//Chained CSS
element(by.id('Number1')).element(by.cssContainingText('label','20'));

You also may be interested to learn about xpath axes which can allow us to do very dynamic selection.

  It works when I run this xpath: "//*[@id=Number1']//label" and I get all the label elements. However, once I try to filter them by text "//*[@id='Number1']//label[contains(text(),'20')]", it cannot find any element. However, the chained css worked, thanks!

  Yeah as you mentioned //*[@id=Number1']//label will return all label elements so I didn't feel that satisfied your question. I think I should have used a dot in place of the text() (//pc-selector[@id='Number1']//label[contains(.,'20')) but not 100% certain. Did you retry your original attempt with the unnecessary bracket removed?
