waitForElement not working as expect on latest react version(16.8.6)

[aledustet]

• react-testing-library version: 6.1.1
• react version: 16.8.6
• node version: 11.10.1
• yarn version: 1.13.0
• jest-dom version: 3.1.3

What you did:

Just run yarn create react-app from-scratch --typescript
Add the react-testing-library and jest-dom to the package.json, update the App.test.tsx with:

import React from 'react';
import {render, waitForElement } from 'react-testing-library'
import 'jest-dom/extend-expect'

test('tests', async () => {
  const { getByTestId } = render(
    <div data-testid='error'>something</div>
  );

  const something = await waitForElement(() => getByTestId('error'))
  expect(something).toHaveTextContent('something')
})

Problem description:

The tests pass if I downgrade to:

    "react": "16.8.1",
    "react-dom": "16.8.1",,
    "react-testing-library": "5.5.3",
    "jest-dom": "3.0.0"

Suggested solution:

I'm starting the bisect from the versions to see what might be changed.
