I am using react-testing-library with jest-dom. It is working fine but when i try to use toBeInTheDocument it throws the error TypeError: element.getRootNode is not a function.

expect(getByText('Not in dom')).not.toBeInTheDocument(); // It works
expect(getByText('Value in DOM')).toBeInTheDocument();  // It throws the error

Error log:

TypeError: element.getRootNode is not a function
      
      at Object.it (src/x/y/z.test.js:42:34)
          at new Promise (<anonymous>)

Do you have `jest.config.js` in your project? if you have share this file too. – thelovekesh Jun 18 '21 at 08:35

I am running into the same issue. Any tricks on how to circumvent that? – fchauvel Sep 23 '21 at 10:22
I was not able to solve this issue but it seems it was due to a lower version of jest/RTL in my project. Because it seems to work in my other project where the deps are updated. – Shubham Sep 24 '21 at 11:20

Had the same issue, @testing-library/jest-dom version 5.x.x was causing the problem, using 4.x.x without any errors atm. – raso Nov 08 '21 at 19:36
