Webpack tries to bundle react-addons-test-utils when it is not needed

[donaldpipowitch]

I use the newest version of enzyme, react-dom and react-test-renderer and I shouldn't need react-addons-test-utils anymore. But it looks like enzyme still requires react-addons-test-utils in webpack projects.

ERROR in ./~/enzyme/build/react-compat.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'react-addons-test-utils' in '/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/enzyme/build'
 @ ./~/enzyme/build/react-compat.js 143:20-54

I think it comes from this try/catch-block. It looks like requireing react-dom/test-utils and/or react-test-renderer/shallow fail while bundling (or: they are bundled at build time and something fails inside this try/catch at runtime), so it tries to get react-addons-test-utils. Or does webpack try to bundled things inside a catch by default?

A special handling for react-addons-test-utils in webpack projects currently isn't mentioned in the docs.

It looks like it works, if react-addons-test-utils is flagged as external in your webpack config:

{
  entry,
  output,
  // ...
  externals:  [
    'react/lib/ExecutionEnvironment',
    'react/lib/ReactContext',
    'react/addons',
    'react-addons-test-utils'  // NEW
  ]
}

Seems like we may need to update the docs?

FWIW, yes. Webpack is pretty aggressive about bundling everything it thinks you need. It doesn't care what language construct the require statement is in; if it sees it, it's going to bundle the package.

FYI these are the warnings I get when running a simple test with jest:

console.error node_modules/fbjs/lib/warning.js:36
      Warning: ReactTestUtils has been moved to react-dom/test-utils. Update references to remove this warning.
console.error node_modules/fbjs/lib/warning.js:36
      Warning: Shallow renderer has been moved to react-test-renderer/shallow. Update references to remove this warning.

#968 (comment) didn't help in my case.

"react-addons-test-utils": "^15.5.1"
"react": "^15.5.4"
"react-dom": "^15.5.4"

PS: Attempting to run enzyme on react@16.0.0-alpha.13 gives the bug relating to requestAnimationFrame.

Note that React 16 doesn't exist yet; and alphas are not supported.

@thiagodebastos try removing react-addons-test-utils as a dependency and then installing react-test-renderer instead. That fixed the warnings for me when running jest.

With "enzyme": "^2.9.1" and react-test-renderer": "^15.6.1" .
I get some weird console.log after the test ends.

         ref: null,
         props: {},

         _store: {} },
  ...

edit: My bad. It was from my test :)

Looks like the solution is documented here: https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme/blob/master/docs/guides/webpack.md#react-15-compatibility
