What was wrong with enzyme?
Nothing really, we figured we could get much more value out of using testing library because we could actually test out how a user would interact with our app other than just using our usual snapshot tests.
why you prefer react testing library over enzyme ?
We are able to tests components in isolation easily and as a potential user would actually use our application
I used to use Enzyme for a long time in my projects. However, now it is on deprecation path and will not be compatible with future versions of React. Therefore, I decided to write a tool that will help me and my team to migrate our projects to RTL. Check my article: dev.to/srshifu/migrate-away-from-e...
It has links to the tool you can download and use in your project
I did the same, I am a happier person now ;)
I’ve never been happier too
