How do you check that an element is NOT on the page?

✓Correct answer: expect(screen.queryByText("Error")).not.toBeInTheDocument()
2expect(screen.getByText("Error")).toBeNull()
3expect(screen.findByText("Error")).toBeFalsy()

Explanation

getBy would throw before the assertion runs, and findBy returns a promise, which is always truthy.
