When i’m running this code:
driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
baseUrl = "http://localhost:8080/alooh-paid";
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement loginElement =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@id,'name']"));
i’m getting this error :
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: The xpath expression
‘//input[contains(@id,’name’]’ cannot be evaluated For documentation

I think it’s a simple case of parentheses mismatch.
You have
"//input[contains(@id,'name']"Instead of using it change it to
"//input[contains(@id,'name')]"
