Easy to use Node.js based end-to-end testing solution for web applications using the W3C WebDriver API.

/**
 * Check if an elements inner text matches a regular expression.
 *
 * @example
 * this.demoTest = function (browser) {
 *   browser.assert.textMatches('#main', '^Nightwatch');
 * };
 *
 * @method assert.textMatches
 * @param {string|object} definition The selector (CSS/Xpath) used to locate the element. Can either be a string or an object which specifies [element properties](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/writing-tests/finding-interacting-with-dom-elements.html#postdoc-element-properties).
 * @param {string|RegExp} regexExpression Regex expression to match text.
 * @param {string} [msg] Optional log message to display in the output. If missing, one is displayed by default.
 * @api assertions
