Why is my chai-as-promised rejected method not working?

Question

I use mocha, chai, and chai-as-promised. The test should fail, but it doesn't, I don't know what's wrong, any suggestions?

const { describe, it } = require('mocha')
const chai = require('chai')
const { expect } = require('chai')
const chaiAsPromised = require('chai-as-promised')

chai.use(chaiAsPromised)

describe('test', () => {
    it('must be rejected', async () => {
        expect(Promise.resolve('success')).to.rejected
    })
})

I tried to test a promise that should be rejected and the test should fail, but the test was successful

From the Chai as Promised docs

Notice: either return or notify(done) must be used with promise assertions. This can be a slight departure from the existing format of assertions being used on a project or by a team. Those other assertions are likely synchronous and thus do not require special handling.

The most powerful extension provided by Chai as Promised is the eventually property. With it, you can transform any existing Chai assertion into one that acts on a promise

You can use async / await or .then(() => {}) to include multiple promises in a test.

These four tests will fail:

const { describe, it } = require('mocha');
const chai = require('chai');
const { expect } = require('chai');
const chaiAsPromised = require('chai-as-promised');

chai.use(chaiAsPromised);

describe('test', () => {
  it('must be rejected (1)', () => {
    return expect(Promise.resolve('success')).to.eventually.be.rejected;
  });

  it('must be rejected (2)', (done) => {
    expect(Promise.resolve('success')).to.eventually.be.rejected.notify(done);
  });

  it('must be rejected (3)', async () => {
    await expect(Promise.resolve('success1')).to.eventually.be.fulfilled;
    return expect(Promise.resolve('success2')).to.eventually.be.rejected;
  });

  it('must be rejected (4)', () => {
    return expect(Promise.resolve('success1')).to.eventually.be.fulfilled.then(
      () => expect(Promise.resolve('success2')).to.eventually.be.rejected
    );
  });
});
