What it does

React19 Test Patterns is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Provides before/after patterns for migrating test files to React 19 compatibility, including act() imports, Simulate removal, and StrictMode call count changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “Use the react19-test-patterns skill to provide before/after patterns for migrating test files to React 19 compatibility, including act() imports…”
  • “/react19-test-patterns”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. act() Import Fix
  2. Simulate → fireEvent
  3. react-dom/test-utils Full API Map
  4. StrictMode Call Count Fixes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7cce7cf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

React19 Test Patterns loads about 791 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~791

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

React 19 Test Migration Patterns

Reference for all test file migrations required by React 19.

Priority Order

Fix test files in this order; each layer depends on the previous:

  1. act import fix first, it unblocks everything else
  2. Simulate → fireEvent fix immediately after act
  3. Full react-dom/test-utils cleanup remove remaining imports
  4. StrictMode call counts measure actual, don't guess
  5. Async act wrapping for remaining "not wrapped in act" warnings
  6. Custom render helper verify once per codebase, not per test

1. act() Import Fix

jsx
// Before  REMOVED in React 19:
import { act } from 'react-dom/test-utils';

// After:
import { act } from 'react';

If mixed with other test-utils imports:

jsx
// Before:
import { act, Simulate, renderIntoDocument } from 'react-dom/test-utils';

// After  split the imports:
import { act } from 'react';
import { fireEvent, render } from '@testing-library/react'; // replaces Simulate + renderIntoDocument

2. Simulate → fireEvent

jsx
// Before  Simulate REMOVED in React 19:
import { Simulate } from 'react-dom/test-utils';
Simulate.click(element);
Simulate.change(input, { target: { value: 'hello' } });
Simulate.submit(form);
Simulate.keyDown(element, { key: 'Enter', keyCode: 13 });

// After:
import { fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
fireEvent.click(element);
fireEvent.change(input, { target: { value: 'hello' } });
fireEvent.submit(form);
fireEvent.keyDown(element, { key: 'Enter', keyCode: 13 });

3. react-dom/test-utils Full API Map

Old (react-dom/test-utils)New location
actimport { act } from 'react'
SimulatefireEvent from @testing-library/react
renderIntoDocumentrender from @testing-library/react
findRenderedDOMComponentWithTaggetByRole, getByTestId from RTL
findRenderedDOMComponentWithClassgetByRole or container.querySelector
scryRenderedDOMComponentsWithTaggetAllByRole from RTL
isElement, isCompositeComponentRemove not needed with RTL
isDOMComponentRemove

4. StrictMode Call Count Fixes

React 19 StrictMode no longer double-invokes useEffect in development. Spy assertions counting effect calls must be updated.

Strategy always measure, never guess:

bash
# Run the failing test, read the actual count from the error:
npm test -- --watchAll=false --testPathPattern="[filename]" --forceExit 2>&1 | grep -E "Expected|Received"
jsx
// Before (React 18 StrictMode  effects ran twice):
expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2);  // 1 call × 2 (strict double-invoke)

// After (React 19 StrictMode  effects run once):
expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
jsx
// Render-phase calls (component body)  still double-invoked in React 19 StrictMode:
expect(renderSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2);  // stays at 2 for render body calls
