What you did:

I was making up a project vite react with typescript through one and other ways but i always have the following mistake

What happened:

This is the mistake:

Problem description:

• Property 'toBeInTheDocument' does not exist on type 'Matchers<void, HTMLElement> & SnapshotMatchers<void, HTMLElement> & Inverse<JestMatchers<void, HTMLElement>> & PromiseMatchers<...>'.

• Property 'toBeDisabled' does not exist on type 'JestMatchers<void, HTMLElement>'.

Suggested solution:

I have tried through one and other ways to solution this mistake but what it say me that it's a problem own package is the following:

what i make is import the package "@testing-library/jest-dom" with the mean the test file recognize me the methods like "toBeInTheDocument", "toBeDisabled" but i always will get the same. If somebody know the solution i will appreciate it

Do you have to use Jest? I only ask as Vite and Jest currently has some limitations. https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-vite . Is it possible to replace Jest with Vitest ?

@vqc1909a try adding your jest.setup.ts file to the tsconfig.json "include" array.

tsconfig.json

{
  "include": ["src", "./jest.setup.ts"],
}

Already I find what is the problem, basically i had put the following line "import '@testing-library/jest-dom'" in the top each file for avoid them syntax error about jest DOM

import '@testing-library/jest-dom'
...

besides about it, i have made a lot of configurations in some files for set up jest in vite react project with typescript, so if you want to see this configurations, i put below the gist url about it
