[Bug]: objectContaining matches non-object values

[flovouin]

Version

29.7.0

Steps to reproduce

expect(undefined).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({}));
expect('test').toEqual(expect.objectContaining({}));
expect(1).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({}));
// Expecting the array to contain an object.
expect([]).toEqual([expect.objectContaining({})]);

Expected behavior

All tests above should fail.

Actual behavior

All tests pass.

Additional context

The documentation states that:

expect.objectContaining(object) matches any received object that recursively matches the expected properties. That is, the expected object is a subset of the received object.

However objectContaining can match any type, not just objects. This leads to all sorts of tests unexpectedly passing.
