+const customRender = (node, ...options) => {
+  const utils = render(node, ...options)
+
+  return {
+    ...utils,
+    getByTestId: id => {
+      const el = utils.container.querySelector(`[data-test-id="${id}"]`)
+      if (!el) {
+        throw Error(`Unable to find an element by: [data-test-id="${id}"]`)

+}
+
+// re-export everything
+export * from 'react-testing-library'
