The React 19 RC Upgrade Guide says:

We recommend migrating your tests to @testing-library/react or @testing-library/react-native for a modern and well supported testing experience.

So I guess Jest's docs and examples should be updated accordingly. @AndyOGo would you be up to putting together a PR?

Thanks for your quick reply @mrazauskas

Well @testing-library/react is a library to write integration tests, it doesn't support shallow snapshot testing nor snapshot diffing.

IMHO these testing approaches pose an anti-pattern and promote bad practices, completely invalidating the first layer of the testing pyramid - unit tests.

So perhaps both pages (Testing React Apps and Testing React Native Apps) should be simply removed?

I see that https://jestjs.io/docs/testing-frameworks already includes @testing-library/react under the Testing ReactJS components with Jest entry.

Happy to just delete the articles, if you're up for sending a PR

@SimenB
The deprecation of react-test-renderer affects more than just those doc pages.

IMHO someone who knows this repo well should take care to analyze and to carry out all of the required changes.
A quick search reveals at least something of what has to be done - it seems pretty-format has some implicit or explicit dependency too (just a guess):
