Its not working.I have already tried it, driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(@href,'http://www.itpathsolutions.cu.ma/juniorApp/admin/user'")).click(); – kunal soni Feb 16 '16 at 13:00
Both is not working? Edited the 2nd one. It should work. – Nguyen Vu Hoang Feb 16 '16 at 13:01
Wrong syntax. Should be driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(@href,'itpathsolutions.cu.ma/juniorApp/admin/user')]")).click() – Nguyen Vu Hoang Feb 16 '16 at 13:01
I have tried the first one. But it didnt work. I dont understand second one.How to use driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()='User Management']/../a")).click(); like this? – kunal soni Feb 16 '16 at 13:22
1st one, you used wrong syntax, please take a look at my 3rd comment; 2nd one: yes – Nguyen Vu Hoang Feb 16 '16 at 13:26

if you want to click on give link then try following code.

 WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
            wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(By.LinkText("User Management 10"))).Click();

if any issue then let me know.
