react native testing library getByText in nested component

Question

I have a component with the following structure


<T>
    <T>{" "} Hi</T>
how are you ?
</T>

when I do getByText("how are you ?") it doesn't find anything and I couldn't use custom matcher Any suggestion ?

You can use regex in the `getByText()`. eg `getByText(/Hi/i);`. This helps when there is nested Text views. Regex is a good way to match what you want to match in the page. — Arjun Nayak, Jun 28 '23 at 14:53
