I’m trying to get at the exact difference in getBy*() vs queryBy*() vs findBy*() in WebdriverIO Testing Library.

I’m asking because the docs describe all of them as async (“All queries are async…”), and thus I wonder how that changes the behavior particularly of getBy*() and queryBy*(), which are normally synchronous. For example, do they wait for some time for elements to appear or resolve immediately?

For example, if I call:

const myElement = await browser.getByText('Lorem ipsum');

what exactly is different than when calling:

const myElement2 = await browser.findByText('Dolor sit');

I’ve read:

• https://testing-library.com/docs/queries/about
• https://testing-library.com/docs/webdriverio-testing-library/intro/
• What’s the difference between getByText vs findByText vs queryByText in testing-library?
