Reproduction:

Problem Description:

When using jest, but without injecting globals, the waitFor logic:

On a broader scope (although I want to keep this issue's focus narrow for the sake of actionability), there might be other unintended implicit assumptions about depending on (a) jest and / or (b) a test environment that injects globals. The following issues are related, although they focus on different manifested problems:

Suggested Solution:

Depending on the appetite for this issue to be fixed, I might work on a PR to address the above. I am somewhat surprised this hasn't come up before, but I guess not many people tend to set up jest without injecting globals.

@signorettif May this ussue be relative to this problem? https://github.com/testing-library/user-event/issues/1173

signorettif commented 8 months ago

Yes! I think that's a symptom of the same underlying problem

@signorettif is there some updates?

In the end, it all boils down to whether TL should be open to dependency injection of the advance timers function by our users. There's been some talk about this here: https://github.com/testing-library/dom-testing-library/issues/939

I didn't get the change to work on that lately.

Now we have api, how to share jest.advanceTimersByTime in user-event library. https://testing-library.com/docs/user-event/options#advancetimers

It would be nice to at least have similar setup option in testing library
