InvalidSelectorException while selecting value from the dropdown

I am trying to select value from the drodown. this is my code.
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='accountSelectContainer']/span/a/span[1]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[equals(text(),'60091 - AFCENT')]")).click();
Now here i have hardcoded the value, which works perfect but i am reading my testdata from excel file . so instead of using direct hard code values , i want to declare my testdata in xpath and read it from excel file. so i tried to this:
Efforts
public void combobox(String testData)
{
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='accountSelectContainer']/span/a/span[1]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[equals(text(),'"+testData+"')]")).click();
}
But i am getting the exception
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable
to locate an element with the xpath expression
//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[equals(text(),'60091 - AFCENT')] because of
the following error: SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on
'Document': The string '//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[equals(text(),'60091
- AFCENT')]' is not a valid XPath expression.
I tried to change it to "+testData+" too instead of using '"+testData+"'
But same exception.
I tried this code too:
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='accountSelectContainer']/span/a/span[1]")).click();
List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
if(testData.equals(option.getText()))
option.click();
}
which works perfect but after this code execution , it is making my browser to wait for about 15 secs before executing next step or for quit too. i am not getting Why so ?
Please need suggestion or any ideas..

I doubt your fast attempt works perfect as xpath doesn't have equals. You would have gotten the same exception. To check for text equality use =
"//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[text()='"+testData+"']"
You can also use contains
"//ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[contains(text(),'"+testData+"')]"

First: the exception you have got is because you xpath: //ul[#id='ui-id-1']/li/a[equals(text(),'60091 - AFCENT')] is not correct syntax.
Second: the code that you can run is not make your browser wait for 15s, it's just because problem about internet connection or you computer is a little slow.

Jenkins Console section: What Java regex will trigger on string ERROR but not on string %%ERRORLEVEL%%?

I am using the Jenkins console sections plugin [1] on a windows server. It is excellent in order to make a nice left navbar on my logs.
Positively, I would like any error message to cause a section header, eg;
Assert-PathExstsNotTooLong : ERROR, The path does not exist: E:\P...
...
Oops! Error, please do not do that.
Negatively, I would like to be able to avoid having spelled-out execution templates cause a new section header, eg the below.
[workspace] $ cmd.exe /C " c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /p:Configuration=Debug /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0 "E:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\M.sln"
Using references here on SO [2] and on the tester you recommended [3], I came up with the following, but it is not working?
^(?=(.*([Ee][Rr][Rr][Oo][Rr] ).*))(?!(%%ERRORLEVEL%%))
Using Regex101's amazing tester, with JS flavor, I used the above as input and had these test strings and outputs. The second line of match info perhaps explains my issue but I do not understand it.
test-strings =
help error you should see me
i am %%errorlevel%% again
i am not a section
match-info;
1. `help error you should see me`
2. `error `
Any tips?
thank you!

(I can't add comments yet, otherwise I'd ask directly, but your example of a spelled-out message template doesn't include the text %%ERRORLEVEL%%, but I assume that it's meant to be a string with %%ERRORLEVEL%% somewhere in the middle of it. Also, as the example isn't quite right, I can't tell exactly what you mean by "not working")
Your problem is that your regex matches ERROR_ (with a space) anywhere in the text, except where the text is exactly %%ERRORLEVEL%%. I think that instead you could write:
^(?=(.*([Ee][Rr][Rr][Oo][Rr])))(?!.*(%%ERRORLEVEL%%)).*
Do you really need to only match ERROR_ (with a space) as opposed to ERROR (whether or not it has a space)? If the former, then you are already excluding %%ERRORLEVEL%%, and you could just use .*(?i:ERROR ).* as the full regex.
The Collapsing Console Sections Plugin uses Java regular expressions, so you can use (?i:ERROR) to match ERROR case-insensitively.
You need a trailing .* before and after your negative-lookahead atom for %%ERRORLEVEL%%, otherwise it will only exclude an exact match
The documentation for the plugin doesn't say whether the pattern has to match a line completely, or if it just matches text within the line. If it matches the line completely, the leading ^ is unnecessary, but won't be doing any harm.
You've got capturing brackets around ERROR and %%ERRORLEVEL%%. If you're not doing anything with that text, then those brackets are unnecessary.
The following regex will match any line with any of ERROR, Error, error etc in it, except lines with any of %%ERRORLEVEL%%, %%ErrorLevel%%, %%errorlevel%% etc.
^(?=.*(?i:ERROR))(?!.*(?i:%%ERRORLEVEL%%)).*

Regex pattern to extract a String

I've tried to extract the following string C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets from the below text.
This is my solution so far : \s+((\w:\\.*(?:\()))
But this includes the "(" in the extracted string. How do I get rid of the "(".
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(2015,5):
error MSB3091: Task failed because "AxImp.exe" was not found, or the
correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed. The task is looking
for "AxImp.exe" in the "bin" subdirectory beneath the location
specified in the InstallationFolder value of the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools-x86. You may be able to solve
the problem by doing one of the following: 1) Install the Microsoft
Windows SDK. 2) Install Visual Studio 2010. 3) Manually set the
above registry key to the correct location. 4) Pass the correct
location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the task.

Change the non-capturing group at the last to positive lookahead.
\s*((\w:\\.*(?=\()))
OR
\s+((\w:\\.*(?=\()))
And i also suggest you to change the inbetween .* to .*? , \s*((\w:\\.*?(?=\())) in-order to provide a non-greedy match.

This should give you the value between " and ,.
line.substring(line.indexOf("(\""), line.indexOf(","));
