Hi!

I'm having problems trying to do a dummy test in select component:

  • react-testing-library version: "@testing-library/react": "^8.0.9"
  • react version: "^16.11.0",
  • node version: 10.16.0
  • npm (or yarn) version: 6.13.4

Relevant code:

import React from 'react';
import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import { getByDisplayValue } from '@testing-library/dom';

describe('test', () => {
 test('test', () => {
   const { getByDisplayValue } = render(
     <select value="2" onChange={() => {}}>
       <option value="1">one</option>
       <option value="2">two</option>
     </select>
   );

   getByDisplayValue("2");
 });
});

Unexpected Test failure:

 FAIL  ./test.js
  test
    × test (55ms)

  ● test › test

    Unable to find an element with the value: 2.

    <body>
      <div>
        <select>
          <option
            value="1"
          >
            one
          </option>
          <option
            value="2"
          >
            two
          </option>
        </select>
      </div>
    </body>

      12 |     );
      13 |
    > 14 |     getByDisplayValue("2");
         |     ^
      15 |   });
      16 | });

Problem description:

getByDisplayValue does not checks well the selected value. Assuming how React select works, option value="2" should be selected by default. However the test is failing.
