`ReactDOMTestUtils.act` is deprecated in favor of `React.act` — import act from 'react' in React 19
`ReactDOMTestUtils.act` is deprecated in favor of `React.act`. Import `act` from `react` instead of `react-dom/test-utils`. See https://react.dev/warnings/react-dom-test-utils for more info.
- import {act} from 'react-dom/test-utils'
+ import {act} from 'react';
Codemod: npx codemod@latest react/19/replace-act-import.
Shallow renderer:
npm install react-shallow-renderer --save-dev
- import ShallowRenderer from 'react-test-renderer/shallow';
+ import ShallowRenderer from 'react-shallow-renderer';
For Simulate/renderIntoDocument and react-test-renderer, migrate to @testing-library/react.
Symptom
Tests log ReactDOMTestUtils.act is deprecated in favor of React.act..., and other helpers from react-dom/test-utils (e.g. renderIntoDocument, Simulate) throw when called. react-test-renderer/shallow imports fail.
Cause
React 19 (stable 2024-12-05) moved act from react-dom/test-utils to react. All other test-utils functions were removed (they error when called; exports to be removed later). react-test-renderer/shallow was removed, and react-test-renderer itself is deprecated.
Verify
grep -rn "react-dom/test-utils\|react-test-renderer/shallow" . returns nothing outside node_modules; test run no longer prints the deprecation warning.
