Error when testing with testing-library render

[ZeeD]

with this basic test

import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import React from 'react';
import Dialog from "@material-ui/core/Dialog";

test('DimensionModal', () => {
    render(<Dialog open={true} />);
});

yarn test ends with error:

    TypeError: Cannot set property 'scrollTop' of null

       8 | test('DimensionModal', () => {
    >  9 |      render(<Dialog open={true} />);
         |      ^
      10 | });

@ZeeD Were you able to find a work around or something with this issue? I am seeing similar TypeError while trying to write a simple test for Material UI Dialog using React Testing Library. I am using Material UI version 4.13. Thank you.

[ZeeD]

@schok-d no, sorry. I left the project now, but while I was on we simply abandon the idea to do these kind of tests.
