#doesNotExist() should not track previous state

[izelnakri]

example code:

    assert.dom('.ember-modal-dialog').doesNotExist(); // passes

    // then click on a button for dialog

    assert.dom('.ember-modal-dialog').exists(); // passes

    // then close the dialog

    assert.dom('.ember-modal-dialog').doesNotExist(); // !!! THIS ONE FAILS!

It says Element .ember-modal-dialog exists once

I don't understand the issue. Apparently the .ember-modal-dialog element still exists at the point where you run the assertion.

The issue is qunit-dom tracks/caches previous existence when #doesNotExist() gets called. The test above fails where it should have passed. (I do put await click() prior, the window gets closed down when that assertion runs)

It could be that .ember-modal-dialog addon keeps the dom I'll check it shortly and get back to you however it is very unlikely and Im almost sure the issue here is the logic in the internal library implementation. The error doesnt say "Element .ember-modal-dialog exists" it says "Element .ember-modal-dialog exists once".

I don't think that's true. Why do you think that qunit-dom caches anything?

yes I've been missing the await there, my apologies 🤦‍♂️
