"await expect" vs. "expect await" in Chai matchers

What is the correct nesting order of await and expect for Chai matchers?

The following does not work:

await expect(contract.name()).to.equal("MyToken"); // (1)  expect(await contract["transfer(address,uint256)"](wallet.address, 100))         .to.be.revertedWith('Insufficient funds'); // (2)

Errors thrown are respectively:

(1) AssertionError: expected Promise{…} to equal 'MyToken'  (2) Uncaught RuntimeError: abort(TypeError: transactionCall is not a function).

The following works:

expect(await contract.name()).to.equal("MyToken"); // (1)  await expect(contract["transfer(address,uint256)"](wallet.address, 100))         .to.be.revertedWith('Insufficient funds'); // (2)

So the problems seem to be:

(1) expect() does not resolve a Promise, and compares it directly to what is passed into .to.equal() — this seems like an oversight!

(2) However expect() does correctly catch errors, but only if they are thrown uncaught within the Promise.

My getContractPair function is the following

  getContractPair = async function (factory, address0, address1) {     const pairAddress = await factory.methods.getPair(address0, address1).call()      const contract = new web3.eth.Contract(this.pancakeswapPairAbi,       pairAddress)     const token0 = await contract.methods.token0().call()     contract.addressOrderReversed = token0.toLowerCase() !==       address0.toLowerCase()     return contract   }

Where:

address0 = CELT's contract address = 0x4f34292f109870d5fdda602bc7e3ae56d520d6e1 address1 = Tether USD (Wormhole) = 0x524bc91dc82d6b90ef29f76a3ecaabafffd490bc pancakeswapPairAbi from: https://bscscan.com/address/0x0ed7e52944161450477ee417de9cd3a859b14fd0#code

Thanks in advance!
