I have tried :parent, but it did not work:

Eg: 

card-paragraph-textbox.blue-highlight :parent .edit-Text

Class Name of child: card-paragraph-textbox.blue-highlight.

Class Name of parent: .edit-Text.

Keyword: :parent

Please help on this!!

  • I don't know Selenium, but it's not possible using CSS alone. See [Is there a CSS parent selector?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/1014861/1016716) – Mr Lister Nov 28 '17 at 10:02

There is no way, use XPath instead.

Get parent:

//*[@class='edit-Text']

Get parent via child:

//*[@class='card-paragraph-textbox blue-highlight']/..

or

//*[@class='card-paragraph-textbox blue-highlight']/parent::*
