What happened?

When having assertions like:

await expect($('nonExisting')).not.toBeExisting()

it fails with:

[chrome 131.0.6778.265 mac #0-0] Expect $(`div`) not to be existing

Expected [not]: "not existing"
Received      : "existing"
[chrome 131.0.6778.265 mac #0-0] Error: Expect $(`div`) not to be existing
[chrome 131.0.6778.265 mac #0-0]
[chrome 131.0.6778.265 mac #0-0] Expected [not]: "not existing"
[chrome 131.0.6778.265 mac #0-0] Received      : "existing"

even though $('nonExisting').isExisting() correctly returns false.

What is your expected behavior?

The assertion should pass properly.
