getByText() failing in most basic use case, need help

Okay, so I’m brand new to react-native-testing as of this morning and have not been able to do something as simple as do getByText(). So, I’m not going to claim this issue is a bug with the library, but a “bug” with my basic understanding of how to use it. Please help me see what I’m missing? Thanks.

Given this jest test file in my React Native 0.67.2 app:

import React from 'react';
import { Text } from 'react-native';
import { cleanup, render, RenderAPI } from '@testing-library/react-native';

describe('react-native-test example', () => {
  let c: RenderAPI;

  beforeEach(() => {
    c = render(<Text>example</Text>);
  });

  afterEach(cleanup);

  test('getByText()', () => {
    c.debug();
    expect(c.getByText('example')).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Why do I get this result?

I also tried <Text>{'example'}</Text> and getByText(/example/) to no avail.

Versions:

    "react": "~17.0.2",
    "@testing-library/jest-native": "^4.0.4",
    "@testing-library/react-native": "^9.0.0",
    "jest": "^25.1.0",

I’m having the same issue 🤔, debug() shows the element is there but no ByText query finds it 🤷

Any movement on this. I am experiencing the same. Using the same versions as above.
