Hello,

At the end of the exercise Setting up React Testing Library, when running npm test, I have this error message. Anyone knows why ?

I tried installing react-dom: npm install react react-dom and after that the error message wasn’t the same anymore.

Thanks

As far I can tell, the RTL version installed in this exercise isn´t compatible with the React version. After searching on SO, I downgraded the RTL version by using the followng command:

npm i -D @testing-library/[email protected]
