jQuery 3 pseudo class selection solution | Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo: hover

jquery3.pseudo.js

//
// pseudo ':hover' is not supported by jQuery 3 
//

// Works with jQuery 1.7.1
$("*").on('click', $.proxy(function() {
    if ( this.$('.tooltip:hover').length > 0 ) { // jQuery 3.2.1 will trigger this -> Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo: hover
      console.log('Hovered!');
    } else { 
      console.log('Where is my element!?'); 
    }
}, this));


// It works like a charm with jQuery 3 (3.2.1)
$("*").on('click', $.proxy(function() {
    var isHovered = $('.tooltip').filter(function() {
        return $(this).is(":hover");
    });

    if ( isHovered.length > 0 ) {
      console.log('Hovered!');
    } else { 
      console.log('Where is my element!?'); 
    }
}, this));
