Why doesn't my chai-as-promised reject method work properly?

I use mocha, chai and promised chai. The test should fail but doesn't, I don't know what's going 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'm trying to test a promise that should be rejected, the test should fail, but the test succeeds

    Excerpted fromChai as Promised document

    You can use async /await or .then(() => {}) to include multiple Promises in your 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
        );
      });
    });
