Description

An xpath query like this one doesn't work with xsoup:

(//img[contains(@class, 'product_image')])[1]/@src
org.jsoup.select.Selector$SelectorParseException: Could not parse query '(//img[contains(@class, 'product_image')])[1]/@src': unexpected token at '(//img[contains(@class, 'product_image')])[1]/@src'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the XPath query (//img[contains(@class, 'product_image')])[1]/@src and tracing the reported SelectorParseException through xsoup's query parsing path. Done means the query is accepted and returns the indexed image's src value, with a regression test covering this case.
