Fix VitestBrowserElementError

in Vitest

Solution

The "VitestBrowserElementError" usually arises when Vitest's browser environment struggles to locate a specific DOM element, often due to asynchronous rendering in components or elements being rendered outside the current test's scope (like modals). Wrap the code causing the rendering or element access with `await nextTick()` (or `await vi.advanceTimersByTime()`) to allow asynchronous updates to complete before querying the DOM. Alternatively, ensure elements rendered outside the tested component (e.g., modals within a portal) are correctly mocked or rendered within the test environment using tools like `@testing-library/react`'s `render` with a container option targeting a DOM element within the test.
