How can I use advanced queries in Vue Testing Library?

You can use advanced queries in Vue Testing Library by utilizing methods like getByRole, getByLabelText, and getByText. These methods help you select elements based on their roles, labels, or text content, making your tests more accessible and aligned with user interactions.

Can you give me an example of using getByRole?

Sure! If you have a button in your component, you can select it using getByRole('button', { name: /submit/i }). This will find the button with the accessible name 'submit'.

What if I want to test a form input?

For form inputs, you can use getByLabelText('Your Label'). This selects the input associated with the label, ensuring your test reflects how users interact with the form.

Are there any best practices for using these queries?

Yes! Always prefer queries that resemble how users find elements, like roles and labels, to make your tests more robust and maintainable.
