Selenium driver - find elements containing data attribute (HTML5)

Question

So, imagine a page that has the following HTML:

<button data-my-custom='{"fileName":"SomethingRandom.zip"}'>
                 Download build 1023
</button>

There will be several of these on the page, each will have a different filename value for the data-my-custom HTML 5 attribute.

How can I get the elements that contain the HTML5 attribute "data-my-custom" in Selenium?

I cannot figure out if I should use XPATH and if so, what the expression would be?

Thank you.

For CSS-path, the selector will be: button[data-my-custom], or button[data-my-custom=<{yourFileNameObject}>] if you want to find a specific one. — iamdanchiv
