Brian Vaughn 3cde22a84e Experimental test selector API (#18607)
Adds several new experimental APIs to aid with automated testing.

Each of the methods below accepts an array of "selectors" that identifies a path (or paths) through a React tree. There are four basic selector types:

* Component: Matches Fibers with the specified React component type
* Role: Matches Host Instances matching the (explicit or implicit) accessibility role.
* Test name: Matches Host Instances with a data-testname attribute.
* Text: Matches Host Instances that directly contain the specified text.
* There is also a special lookahead selector type that enables further matching within a path (without actually including the path in the result). This selector type was inspired by the :has() CSS pseudo-class. It enables e.g. matching a <section> that contained a specific header text, then finding a like button within that <section>.

API
* findAllNodes(): Finds all Host Instances (e.g. HTMLElement) within a host subtree that match the specified selector criteria.
* getFindAllNodesFailureDescription(): Returns an error string describing the matched and unmatched portions of the selector query.
* findBoundingRects(): For all React components within a host subtree that match the specified selector criteria, return a set of bounding boxes that covers the bounds of the nearest (shallowed) Host Instances within those trees.
* observeVisibleRects(): For all React components within a host subtree that match the specified selector criteria, observe if it’s bounding rect is visible in the viewport and is not occluded.
* focusWithin(): For all React components within a host subtree that match the specified selector criteria, set focus within the first focusable Host Instance (as if you started before this component in the tree and moved focus forwards one step).

react-test-renderer

This package provides an experimental React renderer that can be used to render React components to pure JavaScript objects, without depending on the DOM or a native mobile environment.

Essentially, this package makes it easy to grab a snapshot of the "DOM tree" rendered by a React DOM or React Native component without using a browser or jsdom.

Documentation:

https://reactjs.org/docs/test-renderer.html

Usage:

const ReactTestRenderer = require('react-test-renderer');

const renderer = ReactTestRenderer.create(
  <Link page="https://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</Link>
);

console.log(renderer.toJSON());
// { type: 'a',
//   props: { href: 'https://www.facebook.com/' },
//   children: [ 'Facebook' ] }

You can also use Jest's snapshot testing feature to automatically save a copy of the JSON tree to a file and check in your tests that it hasn't changed: https://facebook.github.io/jest/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html.
