Argument of type 'Element' is not assignable to parameter of type 'HTMLElement'.

• @testing-library/react version: 11.2.2

Relevant code or config:

	const { container } = render( // container is `Element` here
		<MyComponent/>,
	)

	expect(getByText(container, someText)).toBeInTheDocument() // Error: Argument of type 'Element' is not assignable to parameter of type 'HTMLElement'.
	expect(getByTestId(container, 'test-id')).toBeInTheDocument() // Error: Argument of type 'Element' is not assignable to parameter of type 'HTMLElement'.

Problem description:

After testing-library/react-testing-library#833 I get type errors because container no more HTMLElement.

container as HTMLElement doesn’t seem like a good solution.

but jest-dom doesn’t have any type definitions as far as I can see

Argh, I pasted the wrong link previously. They do have definitions: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/testing-library__jest-dom

getByText and getByTestId are being re-exported upstream from DOM Testing Library, which hasn’t been updated to match React Testing Library yet (you can subscribe to the pull request for updates).

There is also a separate issue with the runtime (not TypeScript) type checking in Jest DOM. I’ve opened https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom/issues/313 to track that.
