Webdriver how replace dynamic locator to use Page Factory - selenium

Here is html code:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<a>text1</a>
</td>
<td>
<div>delete<div/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<a>text1</a>
</td>
<td>
<div>delete<div/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I need to click on "delete", where contains specified text (for example "text1").
I do this using following xpath:
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div/table/tbody/tr/td[text()='" + id + "']/following-sibling::td[3]/div")).click();
But I would like to use Page Factory and avoid using dynamic locator.
So does anyone know how to click on needed element in another way?

If your xPath works why can't you use it in page object?
If you use Java, just do like this:
#FindBy(how = How.xpath, using = "".//div/table/tbody/tr/td[text()='" + id + "']/following-sibling::td[3]/div"")

iterate with v-for and data-attribute

I have a vuejs-datatable, and now I want to have an option-column with edit- / delete-links.
This is the table-body which gets iterated from the function getRows():
<tbody>
<tr v-for="(row, idr) in get_rows()" v-bind:key="idr">
<td>{{row.id}}</td>
<td>{{row.email}}</td>
<td>
<b-icon-pencil-square></b-icon-pencil-square>
<b-icon-trash></b-icon-trash>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
Now the td with the {{row.id}} and {{row.email}} are fine. However the :data-id="row.id" displays only the id of the first entry. Links in every row in my table have the same data-id. I do not understand why this is happening and what am I doing wrong.
Use code below (notice, it's not using data-id):
<tbody>
<tr v-for="(row, idr) in get_rows()" v-bind:key="idr">
<td>{{row.id}}</td>
<td>{{row.email}}</td>
<td>
<b-icon-pencil-square></b-icon-pencil-square>
<b-icon-trash></b-icon-trash>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

Selenium XPath multiple selection

I want to find all elements in the table that match the following conditions:
-div text contains '2019';
-div class='excellent';
here is the HTML code excerpt:
<tr>
<td>Name of Person1</td>
<td>
<div class="testDate">21/12/2019</div>
<div class="excellent"></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name of Person2</td>
<td>
<div class="testDate">01/12/2017</div>
</td>
</tr>
I tried this solution:
//tr/td[2][div/text()='21/12/2019'][div[#class='starred']]
but I need the year only and not entirely date.
Use the below xpath.
//tr/td[div[contains(.,'2019')]and div[#class='excellent']]

How can I reach the link inside TR using XPATH

This HTML code has menu of targets and you need to select one target. One of these targets is ANY TARGET to continue process.
<tr id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTable:0" class=" iceRowSelMouseOver" tabindex="0" onmouseover="this.className=' iceRowSelMouseOver';" onmouseout="Ice.enableTxtSelection(document.body); this.className='iceDatTblRow1 selectable-rowRow1 iceRowSel'" onmousedown="return Ice.preventTextSelection(event);" ondblclick="Ice.registerDblClick(this);" onclick="Ice.registerClick(this,'mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTableclick_row','mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTableclick_count','0','mainForm',200,true,event,false,'mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTablesel_rows','');">

<span id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTable:0:j_idt1419" class="iceOutTxt select-icon">ยป</span>
</td>
</tr>
How can I reach the ANY TARGET to click on >> to add using XPATH?
Extra Information:
The previous code is for sub window to add target. the main window code is:
<tr class="icePnlGrdRow1 settings-tableRow1">
<td id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1305-2-0" class="icePnlGrdCol1 settings-tableCol1">
<table id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1326" class="icePnlGrd settingsLabel">
<tbody>
<tr class="icePnlGrdRow1 settingsLabelRow1">
<td id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1326-0-0" class="icePnlGrdCol1 settingsLabelCol1">
<span id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1327" class="iceOutTxt label">Target</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="icePnlGrdRow2 settingsLabelRow2">
<td id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1326-1-0" class="icePnlGrdCol1 settingsLabelCol1">
<span id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1328" class="iceOutTxt sidenote">Target or group</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
<td id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1305-2-1" class="icePnlGrdCol2 settings-tableCol2">
<table id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1329" class="icePnlGrd search">
<tbody>
<tr class="icePnlGrdRow1 searchRow1">
<td id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1329-0-0" class="icePnlGrdCol1 searchCol1">
<span id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1330" class="iceOutTxt"/>
</td>
<td id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1329-0-1" class="icePnlGrdCol2 searchCol2">
<input id="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1331" class="iceCmdBtn" type="image" src="/ice/img/search-icon.png" onfocus="setFocus(this.id);" onclick="iceSubmitPartial(form, this, event);return false;" onblur="setFocus('');" name="mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1331"/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
I used ID to click on the targets to open the sub window
//*[#id='mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:j_idt1331']
However, I did not get any response to add any target to my main window either I used the solutions you mentioned.
You can reach the span containing "ANY TARGET":
//span[text() = "ANY TARGET"]
You can extend this to reach the span containing ">>" in the td immediately following the td that contains "ANY TARGET":
//td[span[text() = "ANY TARGET"]]/following-sibling::td[1]/span[text() = ">>"]
Try to focus on the first TD and then click on the Span element.
IWebElement td = browser_drive.FindElement(By.Id("mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTable:0")).FindElements(By.TagName("td"))[0];
IWebElement anytext = td.FindElement(By.Id("mainForm:nav-panel-tab-set:0:trigger-selectTable:0:j_idt1417"));
OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions act = new OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions(browser_drive);
act.MoveToElement(td).Click(anytext);

A simple version of the code looks like this: (run in pry)

I have no access to changing the HTML code
Although there is only one row in this table there is the possibility of more being added and I cannot predict the location of the row, this is why i am trying to find it by name
my normal code is:
e = driver.find_element(:xpath, "//table/tbody/tr[td/span[contains(text(),'Auto')]]")
The problem I am having is that I cannot find any way of getting the row in the table by the name given in the text of the first table cell.
Use below xpath
"//table/tbody/tr/td/span[contains(.,'Auto')]"

The :contains pseudoselector is not part of the W3C CSS Selector standard. As such, browsers do not support selecting elements using it. Some JavaScript CSS selector engines (Sizzle, the engine used by jQuery, for example) provide a :contains pseudoselector, but its presence cannot be relied on.
If you must find an element by the text contents of the element, your only solution at this point is to use XPath. A (very poorly performing) example of how to find this in your case would be as follows:
IWebElement element = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//td[contains(., 'John John')"));
Note that a better solution will always be to have the application you're automating have proper IDs for the elements you need to find. You should be using text to find elements only as a last resort.
You can try this
var webElements = (Driver.FindElements(By.XPath(elementXpath))).ToList();
webElements.FindIndex(item => item.Text.Contains("John John").Click()
where "elementXpath" is path to each cell in table "names". So you get the list of names and then just find a match. You'll get your item clicked.
You may have better luck using the javascript executor to click the element. I am using a very slow IE9 64bit emulator and it seems the only way to click on certain buttons is to use the javascript executor.
CSS selectors aren't very useful here, because CSS selectors work on the html structure i.e. type, relationship and attributes of web elements; they don't work well on the html content, which in this case is the internal text content 'John John'.
But, xpath will work for this job. The function you need is text() which returns the element's inner text content:
//td[text()='John John']
So your webdriver code should look like this:
driver.FindElement(By.xpath("//td[text()='John John']"));
P.S. All locators verified using Firepath in firefox.
You can use the below code:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//td[contains(text(), 'John John')"));
