The problem

When using testing-library, some developers may not be aware of which query to use. As a result, folks will jump to using escape hatches like *ByTestId or querySelector.

This solution

This chrome extension aims to enable developers to find a better query when writing tests. Right click on an element on any web page and it will copy the best possible query for that element into your clipboard. Then simply paste into your test code.
