" Unable to find the "window" object for the given node." when node is a Promise

• @testing-library/dom version: 7.10.1
• Testing Framework and version: jest@26.0.1 via @testing-library/react@10.2.1
• DOM Environment: Jest defaults

Relevant code or config

fireEvent.click(new Promise(jest.fn());

What you did:

This is a contrived example; what I actually did was pass the result of findByRole instead of getByRole.

What happened:

 Unable to find the "window" object for the given node. Please file an issue with the code that's causing you to see this error: https://github.com/testing-library/dom-testing-library/issues/new

      40 |       await act(async () => {
    > 41 |         fireEvent.click(jest.fn());
         |                   ^
      42 |       });

Problem description:

getWindowFromNode doesn’t account for the node not being a Node.

Suggested solution:

Give an explicit error message if it’s an instance of a Promise.

I think we could add this to the eslint repo. If I recall correctly we already have some helpers to find a Promise, so this should be not too hard to do.
