Puppeteer - select based on text children

If I have the following:

<div>Hello world</div>

How can I select the div using "Hello world" as the query value?

alternatively, you can use XPath:

$x('//div[text()="Hello world"]');

or, if you're not necessarily looking for the exact match: 

$x('//div[text()[contains(., "Hello world")]]');

You can try with jQuery's :contains() selector that selects all elements that contain the specified text:

console.log($('div:contains(Hello world)').get(0));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>Hello world</div>
