<p>This guide describes steps necessary to migrate from React Native Testing Library <code>v1.x</code> to <code>v2.x</code>.</p>
<h2 class="rp-toc-include" id="dropping-node-8"><a href="#dropping-node-8" class="rp-header-anchor rp-link" aria-hidden="true">#</a>Dropping Node 8</h2>
<p>Node 8 reached its EOL more than 5 months ago, so it&#x27;s about time to target the library to Node 10. If you used lower version, you&#x27;ll have to upgrade to v10, but we recommend using the latest LTS version.</p>
<h2 class="rp-toc-include" id="auto-cleanup"><a href="#auto-cleanup" class="rp-header-anchor rp-link" aria-hidden="true">#</a>Auto Cleanup</h2>
<p><code>cleanup()</code> function is now called automatically after every test if your testing framework supports <code>afterEach</code> hook (like Jest, Mocha, and Jasmine).</p>
<p>You should be able to remove all <code>afterEach(cleanup)</code> calls in your code.</p>
<p>This change might break your code, if you tests are not isolated, i.e. you call <code>render</code> outside <code>test</code> block. Generally, you should <a href="https://kentcdodds.com/blog/test-isolation-with-react" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="rp-link">keep your tests isolated</a>. But if you can&#x27;t or don&#x27;t want to do this right away you can prevent this behavior using any of the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>by importing <code>&#x27;react-native-testing-library/pure&#x27;</code> instead of <code>&#x27;react-native-testing-library&#x27;</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>by importing <code>&#x27;react-native-testing-library/dont-cleanup-after-each&#x27;</code> before importing <code>&#x27;react-native-testing-library&#x27;</code>. You can do it in a global way by using Jest&#x27;s <code>setupFiles</code> like this:</p>

<p>Both changes should improve code readibility.</p>
<p><code>waitFor</code> calls (and hence also <code>findBy</code> queries) are now wrapped in <code>act</code> by default, so that you should no longer need to use <code>act</code> directly in your tests.</p>
<div class="rp-callout rp-callout--tip"><div class="rp-callout__title">Tip</div><div class="rp-callout__content"><p>
You can usually avoid <code>waitFor</code> by a proper use of <code>findBy</code> asynchronous queries. It will result in more streamlined testing experience.</p></div></div>

<p>Following query functions have been removed after being deprecated for more than a year now:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>getByName</code></li>
<li><code>getAllByName</code></li>
<li><code>queryByName</code></li>
<li><code>queryAllByName</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>*ByType</code> and <code>*ByProps</code> queries has been prefixed with <code>UNSAFE_</code>. These <code>UNSAFE_</code> functions are not planned for removal in future versions but their usage is discouraged. You can rename them using global search/replace in your project:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>getByType</code> -&gt; <code>UNSAFE_getByType</code></li>
<li><code>getAllByType</code> -&gt; <code>UNSAFE_getAllByType</code></li>
<li><code>queryByType</code> -&gt; <code>UNSAFE_queryByType</code></li>
<li><code>queryAllByType</code> -&gt; <code>UNSAFE_queryAllByType</code></li>
<li><code>getByProps</code> -&gt; <code>UNSAFE_getByProps</code></li>
<li><code>getAllByProps</code> -&gt; <code>UNSAFE_getAllByProps</code></li>

<p>In version <code>1.x</code> the <code>getByTestId</code> and <code>queryByTestId</code> queries could return non-native instances. This was a serious bug. Other query functions like <code>getAllByTestId</code>, <code>queryAllByTestId</code>, <code>findByTestId</code> and <code>findAllByTestId</code> didn&#x27;t have this issue. These correctly returned only native components instances (e.g. <code>View</code>, <code>Text</code>, etc) that got the <code>testID</code>.</p>
<p>In v2 we fixed this inconsistency, which may result in failing tests, if you relied on this behavior. There are few ways to handle these failures:</p>
<ul>
<li>pass the <code>testID</code> prop down so it can reach a native component, like <code>View</code> or <code>Text</code></li>
<li>replace <code>testID</code> with proper <code>accessibilityHint</code> or <code>accessibilityLabel</code> if it benefits the user</li>
<li>use safe queries like <code>*ByText</code> or <code>*ByA11yHint</code></li>
</ul>
