I am using react-testing-library with jest-dom. It is working fine but when i try to use toBeInTheDocument it throws the error TypeError: element.getRootNode is not a function.

expect(getByText('Not in dom')).not.toBeInTheDocument(); // It works
expect(getByText('Value in DOM')).toBeInTheDocument();  // It throws the error

Error log:

TypeError: element.getRootNode is not a function

    Had the same issue, @testing-library/jest-dom version 5.x.x was causing the problem, using 4.x.x without any errors atm. Commented Nov 8, 2021 at 19:36
