@testing-library/jest-dom not loading

I'm trying to introduce React Testing Library into Create React App project, and I'm hitting a strange problem. For one of my tests, I need to use jest-dom, but I can't seem to import it successfully.

I've yarn add'ed it, and can't think of what step I missed. expect.extend fails because its toHaveStyle is undefined.

Here's my test file, reduced down to the minimum:

import React from 'react';
import {render, screen} from '@testing-library/react';

import {toHaveStyle} from '@testing-library/jest-dom';
import '@testing-library/jest-dom/extend-expect';
//expect.extend({toHaveStyle});

it('is confusing me', () => {
  // (Using `toBe(42) as an ersatz `console.log`)
  expect([Object.keys(require('@testing-library/jest-dom')), Object.keys(require('@testing-library/react')), toHaveClass]).toBe(42);
});

The output is:

  Expected: 42
    Received: [[], ["render", "cleanup", "fireEvent", ...], undefined]

And, here's the relevant part of yarn.lock:

module not found can't resolve node_modules\react-scripts\node_modules\babel-loader\lib\index.js' in react 17

Okay so if there is anyone looking at this in 2022+ year, After downgrading from react-v18 to react-v17 I faced this issue. I had to run certain commands.

  1. npm install [email protected]

  2. npm install babel-loader --save-dev

  3. npm install -D babel-loader @babel/core @babel/preset-env webpack

I also moved my @testing-library/jest-dom,@testing-library/react,@testing-library/user-event to devDependencies and downgraded them

Worked like a charm.

Well, jest-dom documentation has been updated.

import {toHaveStyle} from '@testing-library/jest-dom';

would not work anymore. Instead,

import {toHaveStyle} from '@testing-library/jest-dom/matchers'

For reference, see jest-dom

Here is how I use this great library :

// in test file
import '@testing-library/jest-dom/extend-expect';

[...]

// then matchers are available in tests
expect(rtl.getByText('text').toHaveClass('some-class');

My import is slightly different than yours, I could not say precisely what goes wrong with yours but this is how I do.

Good luck !
