Xpath selenium WebDriver error in java program - selenium

Question

I have a valid xpath but when i use the same Xpath in java to store the WebElements, it gives an error.
It is related to the syntax error.Below is the error
syntax error on token ""]//div/div/button[#id="",
( expected
- Syntax error on token "header", delete this token
- Syntax error on token ""]"", ) expected
below is the httml code
<div id="header-wrap-container">
<div id="header-wrap" style="position: fixed;">
<div class="bredcrumDJV">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5 col-lg-6">
<div class="col-md-7 col-lg-6 col-xs-12 applySec">
<div class="pull-right hidden-xs">
<button id="applybtn-2" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg dice-btn apply disableButton" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#cover-resume-modal">Apply Now</button>
<div class="hidden-xs btn-group btn-group-lg">
<div class="visible-xs btn-group btn-group-lg btn-block">
<input id="partnerSurveyURL" value="https://partner.techpapers.com/interstitial/interstitial.aspx?promo=111186" type="hidden"/>
</div>
<div class="visible-xs">
<button id="applybtn-2" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg dice-btn apply disableButton" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#cover-resume-modal">Apply Now</button>
<div class="hidden-xs btn-group btn-group-lg">
<div class="visible-xs btn-group btn-group-lg btn-block">
<input id="partnerSurveyURL" value="https://partner.techpapers.com/interstitial/interstitial.aspx?promo=111186" type="hidden"/>
</div>
<ul class="list-inline details pull-right djvReport hidden-xs" style="margin-top: 10px; clear: both;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- START REPORT MODAL -->
xpath is .//*[#id="header-wrap-container"]//div/div/button[#id="applybtn-2"]
inserted same xpath in java program.
public class FileUpload {
#Test()
public void checkAlertWindow() throws InterruptedException
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver webdriver = new FirefoxDriver();
webdriver.get("https://www.dice.com/jobs/detail/Mobile-Test-Automation-Engineer-Etouch-Systems-Corp-Fremont-CA-94555/etouch/734212?icid=sr2-1p&q=NightWatch,Selenium&l=Fremont");
//By bye = By.xpath(".//*[#id="header-wrap-container"]");
// + "/button[#id="applybtn-2"]");
//By b = By.xpath(".//*[#id="header-wrap-container"]");
// webdriver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id="header-wrap-container"]"));
WebElement myDynamicElement = (new WebDriverWait(webdriver, 10))
.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("header-wrap-container")));
System.out.println(myDynamicElement.getText());
By byeid = By.id("header-wrap-container");
webdriver.findElement(By.xpath(" .//*[#id="header-wrap-container"]//div/div/button[#id="applybtn-2"]"));
}
}
why the program gives an error ?

Answer 1

You need to either escape the " inside your statement or use '
Try this:
webdriver.findElement(By.xpath(" .//*[#id=\"header-wrap-container\"]//div/div/button[#id=\"applybtn-2\"]"));
