Hi Zak,

Thanks very much for the steer; React Testing Library seems to be the way to go for this sort of thing.

I think one issue I had was some of my packages were missing / out-of-date which was throwing some errors. In the end, after updating packages and importing @testing-library/jest-dom, I used this which seems to be working:

test('Data after re-render', async () => {
     render();
     expect(screen.queryByText(/test/)).toBeNull();
     expect(await screen.findByText(/test/)).toBeInTheDocument();
});

Thanks again,
Mark
