Testing · Middle · Question 26 of 75

Why can `getByRole` miss an element that is in the DOM?

✓Correct answer: It ignores elements hidden from the accessibility tree (display: none, aria-hidden) unless hidden: true is passed
2It searches only the first 100 elements
3It works only with buttons

Explanation

This is usually what you want: hidden elements aren't available to the user either.
