Problem description: I am getting the error above when using findByRole from Cypress Testing Library

Suggested solution: Rollback to the version 7.0.7 helps

seeing this as well when using react-app-rewired and craco with a create react app application. very strange.

I had the same issue. I rolled back to v7.0.7, which indeed solves it, but of course I'd rather use the latest version. It doesn't look like there's much developer activity here, though :(

Same issue discovered with this Cypress version:

Cypress 12.14.0 Node 16.20.1

Still encounter this issue today. so I removed all the test and found:

1. describe('Description', () => {}) => this works fine
2. describe('Description', () => { it('should works fine', () => {}) }) => this is failed with the above error

Still not sure what is blocking this test
