8 | 8 | asynchronous as they return a promise which resolves when elements are |
9 | 9 | found. Those queries variants are: |

|
11 | 11 | - `findBy*` |
12 | 12 | - `findAllBy*` |

| 16 | +errors in the tests. The promise will be considered as handled when: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- using the `await` operator |
| 19 | +- chaining the `then` method |
| 20 | +- chaining `resolves` or `rejects` from jest |
| 21 | +- it's returned from a function (in this case, that particular function will be analyzed by this rule too) |

|
19 | 23 | Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule: |
20 | 24 |
|
21 | 25 | ```js |
22 | | -const foo = () => { |
23 | | - // ... |
24 | | - const rows = findAllByRole('row'); |
25 | | - // ... |
26 | | -}; |
27 | | - |
28 | | -const bar = () => { |
29 | | - // ... |
30 | | - findByText('submit'); |
31 | | - // ... |
32 | | -}; |
33 | | - |
34 | | -const baz = () => { |
35 | | - // ... |
36 | | - screen.findAllByPlaceholderText('name'); |
37 | | - // ... |
38 | | -}; |
| 26 | +// async query without handling promise |
| 27 | +const rows = findAllByRole('row'); |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +findByIcon('search'); |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +screen.findAllByPlaceholderText('name'); |
| 32 | +``` |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```js |
| 35 | +// promise from async query returned within wrapper function without being handled |
| 36 | +const findMyButton = () => findByText('my button'); |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +const someButton = findMyButton(); // promise unhandled here |
39 | 39 | ``` |

|
43 | 43 | ```js |
44 | 44 | // `await` operator is correct |
45 | | -const foo = async () => { |
