.css_to_xpath(css) ⇒ Object

Use Nokogiri to convert a css selector into an xpath selector. Nokogiri can use css selectors with ‘doc.search()`. However for large node trees, it is much slower than using xpath, by several orders of magnitude. gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/329186

  # Due to https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/572,
  # we remove the leading `//` and add `descendant-or-self::`
  # in order to ensure we're searching from this node and all
  # descendants.
