testing-library/no-promise-in-fire-event
January 5, 2026 · View on GitHub
📝 Disallow the use of promises passed to a fireEvent method.
💼 This rule is enabled in the following configs: 
angular, 
dom, 
marko, 
react, 
svelte, 
vue.
Methods from fireEvent expect to receive a DOM element. Passing a promise will end up in an error, so it must be prevented.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
import { screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
// usage of unhandled findBy queries
fireEvent.click(screen.findByRole('button'));
// usage of unhandled promises
fireEvent.click(new Promise(jest.fn()));
// usage of references to unhandled promises
const promise = new Promise();
fireEvent.click(promise);
const anotherPromise = screen.findByRole('button');
fireEvent.click(anotherPromise);
Examples of correct code for this rule:
import { screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
// usage of getBy queries
fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
// usage of awaited findBy queries
fireEvent.click(await screen.findByRole('button'));
// usage of references to handled promises
const promise = new Promise();
const element = await promise;
fireEvent.click(element);
const anotherPromise = screen.findByRole('button');
const button = await anotherPromise;
fireEvent.click(button);
