wrapper.simulate() should be wrapped in ReactTestUtils.act()

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. React 16.8 introduced act() to allow component interactions to be tested in a synchronous way.

Describe the solution you’d like wrapper.simulate() should be wrapped in act() to ensure any state changes are resolved before proceeding.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

act(() => {
  wrapper.simulate();
});

Though it’s easy to forget act.

Additional context I have a feeling this is already on your roadmap, but I couldn’t find an issue about it.

Thanks! I’ll try to find time to contribute. I think this will be a huge improvement for users who need to force wrappers to update after simulating events to ensure that state updates are complete.
