findAllByRole and findByRole don't chain correctly

[jake-pepple]

I had the same issue, and ended up here as well. For what it's worth, while I also think it would be intuitive to be able to chain finds like above, I found that chaining non-testing-library queries was a workaround in this case.

// Above example
cy.get(".list-unstyled")
	.findAllByRole("listitem")
	.findByRole("link", { name: "5: BB" })
	.should("exist")

// A working alternative
cy.get(".list-unstyled")
	.findAllByRole("listitem")
	.find("link")
	.contains("5: BB")
	.should("exist")

Same problem here but with findByText()

I think they only search on first container element https://github.com/testing-library/cypress-testing-library/blob/main/src/index.js#L58
