Given this snippet:
```jsx
TestRenderer.act(() => {
TestUtils.act(() => {
TestRenderer.create(<Effecty />);
});
});
```
We want to make sure that all work is only flushed on exiting the outermost act().
Now, naively doing this based on actingScopeDepth would work with a mocked scheduler, where flushAll() would flush all work across renderers.
This doesn't work without mocking the scheduler though; and where flushing work only works per renderer. So we disable this behaviour for a non-mocked scenario. This seems like an ok tradeoff.
react-test-renderer
This package provides an experimental React renderer that can be used to render React components to pure JavaScript objects, without depending on the DOM or a native mobile environment.
Essentially, this package makes it easy to grab a snapshot of the "DOM tree" rendered by a React DOM or React Native component without using a browser or jsdom.
Documentation:
https://reactjs.org/docs/test-renderer.html
Usage:
const ReactTestRenderer = require('react-test-renderer');
const renderer = ReactTestRenderer.create(
<Link page="https://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</Link>
);
console.log(renderer.toJSON());
// { type: 'a',
// props: { href: 'https://www.facebook.com/' },
// children: [ 'Facebook' ] }
You can also use Jest's snapshot testing feature to automatically save a copy of the JSON tree to a file and check in your tests that it hasn't changed: https://facebook.github.io/jest/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html.
