Name property does not exist in ByRoleOptions typing

[eric-burel]

• @testing-library/react version: 10.0.2

Relevant code or config:

Name is documented here: https://testing-library.com/docs/dom-testing-library/api-queries#byrole

But absent from the "ByRole" typing.

What you did:

const checkbox2 = getByRole("checkbox", { name: "asset-2" });

What happened:

Argument of type '{ name: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ByRoleOptions'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'name' does not exist in type 'ByRoleOptions'.ts(2345)

Reproduction:

Use getByRole in a ts file like in the code provided above.

Suggested solution:

Fix typings of the ByRole option

You need to manually update the typings for @testing-library/dom you have installed. The latest typings are up-to-date.

The underlying issue is already part of #620

Hi, thanks but I don't get why, upgrading does not work:

yarn upgrade --latest @types/testing-library__react

This will still install the old __dom typings within @types/testing-library-react. I've tried to install the dom typings separately, I get the lastest version but no luck, the react typings will still load the older types.

Do you have a quickfix for this?

[eps1lon]

yarn upgrade --latest @types/testing-library__react

You need to upgrade @types/testing-library__dom because Yarn will not upgrade dependencies of the package you are upgrading.

If that doesn't help remove the lockfile entry for @types/testing-library__dom and run yarn install again.

Thanks it works after manually removing reference to testing-library__dom v6 and rerunning the yarn upgrade command.
